https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unimate

The Unimaetes were my first exposure. The GE Somersworth watt-hour meter 
plant used the on the die cast meter base line. They would insert magnets, 
wait for the machine to cycle, grab the part when the die opened, knock 
off the sprue, and toss the base in a bin. I wouldn't want one pouring my 
coffee; they were big, fast, and did not deviate from their programmed 
route.

That was the early '70s. We were building automated presses for the 
phenolic molding operation and I would take a break to watch them when we 
were installing the equipment. I saw the future. Then came the oil 
embargo, the subsequent sending manufacturing to third world countries, 
and the demise of the US machine tool industry. 

I don't know if the decay is reversible but it would be nice to see the US 
become something more than baristas and pea pickers again.
