I wonder if the robot uprising will be this anticlimactic.

The first robot in history to ring the New York Stock Exchange closing bell didn’t swing a gavel, though it could’ve. Instead the Universal Robot’s gray, UR5 e robot arm pressed a button at precisely 4 PM ET on Wednesday for 2 seconds to signal the close of trading. Then it did a little dance.
