According to the economic and business research center (the CEBR) and Redwood software company (hereinafter referred to as the "Redwood"), according to the results of the survey jointly issued when it comes to promote the research of robotic automation required inputs, the United States still is in the leading position in the global. America's current robotics companies combined market capitalisation of about $732 billion, more than 2015 Swiss overall economic scale. 
 
 
Economic and business research centers in the United States economist David whittaker (David Whitaker) said, "the United States is in a leading position in the field of robot global investment. Since the financial crisis in 2009, the United States investment in the field has quickly recovered. The absolute scale of economy, plus the huge foundation of automobile and electronics manufacturing business for the United States increased automation of natural selection." 
 
 
 
Redwood America and asia-pacific President denis Walsh (Dennis Walsh) explains, "the U.S. industry leads the world in terms of the use of robots. We see more and more American companies are not only the robot technology applies in the middle of the assembly line, but also applied to the supply chain, financial, and other fields." 
 
 
 
Automation of jobs to replace is a hot issue. In some people may not be worried about their jobs will be replaced by robots at the same time, many in the field of manufacturing blue-collar and white-collar workers are worried about their future. 
 
 
 
Walsh in economics and business research center jointly issued with the United States are contained in the results of the survey to the problem. He said, "in the past 12 months, robots and automation has been a hot topic in the field of manufacturing." 
 
 
 
It has also led to about how to deal with the robot will inevitably bring employment break discussion of the problem. Given the economic and business research center solution, is to let robot and mankind employees work side by side. "There is clear evidence that in many cases, robotic automation should be a supplement of human labor, rather than a direct replacement. Robotic automation is increasing the overall number of jobs, but also can adjust jobs." 
 
 
 
Besides increase efficiency and productivity, robots can also greatly improve the global economy. Over the past five years, robot to global growth contributed up to 10% of gross domestic product. "The research results show that the robot and automation is one of the most popular investment, rate of return may be improved over time," Walsh said.
