Robotics Institute: Hamilton and Technology-Centric Economy

robotics institute: It was fascinating to compare two steel towns; Pittsburgh and Hamilton both struggled due to the decline of manufacturing economies, according to Hamilton Spectator. Today, Pittsburgh boasts of its future as a brighter technology-centric economy surrounded by Robotics Institute, Apple, and Google. In Hamilton, not once have I received a greeting from a robot. The city partnered with Uber and piloted a driverless car initiative in 2016. In Hamilton, the city's economic diversifying efforts contributed to weathering the recession and thankfully we have not yet seen robots competing for our jobs to that extent. Nevertheless, Mayor Bill Peduto is facing backlash as unions are protesting the displacement of workers. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
