Zero. A brilliant mathematical concept. The Romans famously lacked it. I fear we lawyers suffer from a similar failure to appreciate zero's significance. Words not mathematics are the lawyer’s stock in trade, yet the profession is obsessed with counting.

Communication and Safety Challenges Facing Mobile Robots Manufacturers
Summary Mobile robots are everywhere, from warehouses to hospitals and even on the street. Their popularity is easy to understand; they're cheaper, safer, easier to find, and more productive than actual workers. They're easy to scale or combine with other machines.
