Last week, I visited a bearing manufacturing plant outside Pune where two striking scenes unfolded side by side. In one section, robotic arms performed precision welding with superhuman consistency, no humans in sight. In the adjacent bay, technicians wearing AR headsets worked alongside collaborative robots, their movements synchronized in a choreographed dance of production. Same...
