Robot-Dog Walker Jobs Offered at $20 an Hour
Original: Wanted: Robot-Dog Walkers. $20/Hour
The New York Times reports that companies deploying quadruped robots are hiring people to walk and supervise the machines, paying around $20 an hour. The jobs involve handling robot dogs in public spaces, raising questions about how humans fit into an increasingly automated robotics industry and what these roles say about the future of low-wage work.
Why now: The unusual pairing of cutting-edge robots with a modest hourly wage strikes people as both funny and telling about automation and labor.
