I’m a mechatronics engineering graduate with very little work experience. I’m also about to complete my masters. I’m telling these because I’m actually not that unfamiliar with technology but there are some things that I need to be explained like I’m 5.
Why is it that hard for a non-developed country to produce technology? How hard could it be to do a robotic vacuum cleaner? It’s not like starting from scratch. There’s years of know-how of humankind and it shouldn’t be that hard to reach that information.
We design and implement some simple robots as engineering students. One of them was a robot gripper. Nothing fancy but it was able to grip sensitive objects without harming them.
I don’t understand how a country with unlimited resources, compared to us some students, can’t produce at least this level of technology? I am pretty sure that they can but there must be something that’s preventing them from doing.
Edit: Forgot to add, I’m not living in a developed country.

Well….would you rather do that development work for the salary you can get there, or for the one you could pull down in a wealthy country, that’s part of it.
If you don’t have an advanced industrial base you’re going to need to be able to aquire components like boards and chips from another country in bulk, usually from an expensive developed one. Based on the sales price you could achieve locally and the exchange rate how profitable could you make that sale when you’re buying parts from South Korea, Japan or Taiwan?
That’s another big issue.
