Foxconn is attempting to replace its human workers with thousands of robots

Foxconn wants to replace a portion of its workforce with ten thousand "Foxbots." These robots alone could manufacture hundreds of millions of iPhones every year -- potentially eliminating the need for most of the workforce. The rollout of these robots might solve Foxconn's current PR problem, but will it create a bigger uproar when thousands of workers lose their jobs to robots?
