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.

“brain drain” is a major factor. it is easier for intelligent and educated to people to leave and work at already established companies in other countries. it is likely these outside companies will pay better and offer a more comfortable life……if you have the skills would you rather live in USA or not USA
local governments also have to be friendly towards fostering new companies and new innovations. Building factories and training factory workers takes a different framework from allowing creative process of designing entirely new products or services. government subsidies towards manufacturing has a much more tangible understanding than supporting people who may or may not provide an actual product in 10 years development time
