Braintech pushes Brave New World forward

The future I read about in elementary school is finally here. Last month, Vancouver, BC-based Braintech, which makes vision guided robotic software, announced that its product is now being deployed in the Toyota Motors plant in West Virginia. Essentially, Braintech's TrueView(tm) technology enables human assembly line workers to be replaced by vision guided robots to automate the transfer of completed engines to the engine testing line. Aldous Huxley wouldn't be surprised.
