You know a car is automated, right?

Has that negatively impacted the global economy? You used to need little children to sweep the horse shit out of the streets, and now they all lost their jobs and had to go to school!

Would you rent a vacuum cleaner for $499 a month?

Vacuum cleaning is a chore many people are happy to outsource, but one company is trying to persuade firms to swap an automated service for human cleaners.

Softbank, the Japanese firm behind WeWork and Uber, has launched a self-powered machine, dubbed The Whiz, at a hefty price tag of $499 (£381) a month.

Softbank says its robot is meant to replace "over-worked janitorial teams."

The Whiz is not initially automatic, as a human has to lead it around until it can learn the cleaning route.

It has been developed by Softbank's US robotics arm and Hong Kong-based firm Intelligent Cleaning Equipment.

The three-feet-tall (0.9 metres) vacuum was initially only offered for rent in Japan and Hong Kong.

'Cleaning efficiency'
The machine sends an alert if there is an issue, such as bumping into a wall. After three hours, it can cover 15,000 square feet (1,394 square metres) but then will need a battery change.

A person has to teach the Whiz where to go
It also gathers data and produces a report with analytics on dirt levels.

Softbank says in its presentation materials this provides the ability to "actively demonstrate cleaning efficiency to stakeholders".

One UK firm told the BBC they were planning to conduct trials with the robot in hotels around Southampton.

Ellen Gasson, marketing director for Hampshire-based Industrial Cleaning Equipment (a different business from the Hong Kong company), says when they trial the machine in hotels, a cleaner will need to be present to allow the robot into rooms to clean floors.

WeWork rescue
The vacuum cleaner launch comes after tech investor Softbank announced its worst ever financial results, earlier in November.

Softbank reported a £5bn operating loss for the second quarter of 2019, after companies it invested in, Uber and WeWork, suffered poor financial performances.


The robot cam navigate around office workers
WeWork, a flexible office space company had to be given a multi-billion dollar rescue package. Its chief executive Adam Neumann, departed and was replaced with Softbank executives.

Despite the negative recent press, some analysts remain positive on Softbank and see the company's stock as undervalued.

"The WeWork debacle has eroded investor confidence but we retain our strong conviction regarding the long-term outlook for the company," said Chris Lane, an analyst at Bernstein in a research note.

Deutsche Bank says robots are already replacing workers as it ramps up a plan to axe 18,000 jobs

https://images.markets.businessinsid...k-strategy.jpg
Deutsche Bank is using robots to replace some of the 18,000 staff it cut earlier this year.
Financial News spoke to the bank's head of operations for Deutsche's corporate and investment bank, who said that using AI "massively increased productivity" in certain sectors of the business.
So far "680,000 hours of manual work" has already been saved, he said.
In July, Deutsche Bank announced a massive restructuring, axing thousands of jobs, and dissolving its equities sales and trading unit.
The bank has axed over 4,000 jobs since last year, and about 1,000 since July.

Deutsche Bank is using robots to replace some of the 18,000 staff it plans to cut, according to Financial News.
Mark Matthews, head of operations for Deutsche's corporate and investment bank, told Financial News that machine learning algorithms "massively increased productivity" and "redistribute capacity."
The London-based news organization said that Deutsche is pushing to "automate large parts of its back-office" via a new strategy called "Operations 4.0," as part of its $6.6 billion savings initiative over the next three years.

Deutsche Bank is having a torrid year. In July, it announced that it will cut 18,000 jobs over the next three years as well as dropping its equity sales and trading unit. In its October earnings report, the bank posted €315 million in "severance and transformation-related charges," while net revenues fell 15%.
Matthews told FN that the machine learning tools helped to save "680,000 hours of manual work" and that it "so far used bots to process 5 million transactions in its corporate bank and perform 3.4 million checks within its investment bank."
In what insiders called a surprising move, the bank this summer said it will keep the bulk of its equity research department despite eliminating the bulk of its stocks sales and trading division.
A spokesperson for the German bank confirmed the Financial News report, adding that it has cut 4,700 jobs in the last year, with about 1,000 of those since the announcement.
