Foxconn To Replace Some of Its Workforce With 1 Million Robots




With the move, the company aims to cut labor expenses and improve efficiency, Foxconn CEO Terry Gou said at a workers' dance party on Friday.

Foxconn has a massive operation in China with about 1 million workers. The company caught the headlines after a string of suicides that prompted HP, Apple, Sony and other companies to launch an investigation into Foxconn's business practices.

More recently, an explosion in Foxconn's Chengdu plant in China left two people were dead and 16 injured.
