Advanced automation/Intro

Advanced closed-loop automation refers to sophisticated industrial systems capable of self-repair and self-assembly that need almost no human interaction to operate, apart from top level guidance. These systems when linked together will magnify our capability for production allowing us to create as much of anything that is needed while making efficient use of natural resources and releasing people from mindless labour.

These systems are based on technologies and knowledge that we already possess. No fictional concepts or unattainable artifical intelligence are required to make this happen. We have the ability today to create systems that provide for the global population's basic needs and far beyond, while minimising our impact on the environment.
