에릭 슈미트(Eric Schmidt)의 발언 인용: 로봇은 휴식이 필요 없는 노동력으로 공급망을 자동화하고 인간이 할 수 없는 물리적 작업을 수행할 것이라는 전망과, 2025년 중국이 전 세계 휴머노이드 로봇 설치의 80% 이상·산업용의 절반 이상을 차지했다는 통계 언급이 포함된 내용.

Eric Schmidt: “Robots will be a labor force that needs no rest. Robots will automate entire supply chains and perform physical tasks that humans cannot do.” “In 2025, China accounted for over 80% of global humanoid robot installations and over half of the world’s industrial
