The Robots Are Coming — And the Companies Building Them Are Looking For Workers

As automation is expected to impact certain jobs in the future, companies adopting robots in manufacturing, kitchens, and delivery are creating opportunities for workers to participate in building and implementing technology. Both humanoid and nonhumanoid robots are predicted to influence employment, with companies projecting growth, displacement, or a neutral effect due to technology, according to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report. Sectors like electronics, energy tech, utilities, and consumer goods are likely to adopt robotics, while companies such as Zipline and Vebu Labs are looking to hire workers for roles related to robot development and implementation.
