Labor in Vietnam is cheap. That is a principal reason Thompson worked so hard to establish a company there. Robots are expensive and require trained technicians to repair along with a good supply chain.
There is nothing wrong with hiring human labor to take care of our silkworms. It would be far less expensive than developing robots to replace them. A malfunction in an automated facility might endanger the crop of silkworms, while people are quite reliable.
No reason on earth to think KBLB would be developing automated facilities. I don't think $24 million would be sufficient to develop, test, and deploy robots for this purpose. It also goes against KBLB's 'drop in replacement' idea.
KBLB can expand far more quickly and cheaply by hiring more employees to take care of silkworms than by spending money to develop robots to perform all of the needed sericulture tasks.
