As for ABC 50,000 dollar budget all I can say is good luck finding 1 of the probably at least 10 Software engineers to just design the software and AI(Artificial Intelligence) because on avg most A.I. programmers make US$90,000 to US$115,000 plus benefits each. That's not even counting building a facility and getting the hardware design,tested and ready plus the cost related to R&D. US$50,0000 x RD$37.00 = RD$1.85 million which would cover Belkis salary for the next 20 YEARS of service and not requiring any maintenance and easily replaceable if you know what I mean. We cannot even get business people to think past next month and you going to need some luck to get them to think that by firing Belkis and building a US$50,000 robot they would save some money after 20 years of service by the robot. and good luck trying to get pedro to order some chicharron y tostones from a robot at a local joint.

LOL No forward thinking here! A desktop calculator used be $2,000 in the 50's. Now equivalent function $3. Huge development space. Wait a minute I have to recharge my robotic floor cleaner! S. |
