Robotics and factories.

Big tech happened because of open source and remote work (international collaboration on the internet). C, gcc, Linux, BSD, and publicly funded protocols like email and HTTP unlocked the last 20 years of growth. The next wave of open source is happening in robotics and manufacturing. We’re around 2005 right now in software terms. The iRobot, Nest, Oculus generation of companies was the first .com wave. Robotics and manufacturing teams are figuring out how to work remotely (accelerated by the pandemic).

Sounds interesting. Do you have any more info you can share about developments in robotics and manufacturing?
