Saying the phrase “mama and papa shop”, and then throw in the word Robots and some people will lift an eye brow. There was a time when that kinda shops where for making custom garden gates and welding up exhaust pipes, but more and more of those types of shops turned into high tech manufacturing facilities using the same machines and software as big league companies like Boeing and Ford Motor company.
