How it's made: MINI Cooper

[@Febeleh]

I love the quiet beauty of this. The automation speaks for itself, with neither narrator nor music added. Just the pure essence of automatic manufacturing. It's almost poetic.

[@CaptainJug1]

Its also a double edge sword. Why pay an employee when a robot and do it better and more efficiently.

[@Durrpadil]

I can only imagine the talent of the engineers and the entire staff; from engineering the machines that create to the components of the MINI to the actual people on the factory floor assembling the particulars. This, to me, is a work of art.

[@CopyofCharlotte]

ahhhh the mini... one of my favorite cars

[@stonekevin7432]

amazing video, complex process, smart robots, talented people.

[@only1clover]

I'm more focus on the machines building the mini then I am on how the mini is built.

[@michaelparry1383]

WOW ! I have never watched the complete or almost complete process of the creation and assembly. It was almost scary with all the robots doing their thing. The way they move is almost like a detailed choreographed dance. I know that may think that robots have taken the jobs away. They have created many more jobs in designing, creating, producing, and programming these marvels. This is great. It is almost like watching Transformers create the car. Thanks

[@spektrum1983]

Those robots in protection clothing was a bit scary, lol

[@joeyjamison5772]

Things just go so much smoother with the union out of the way.

[@CaptainD00M]

they should make a mini cooper mr.bean edition with green color and a black hood :P

[@mariorivera8059]

is it just me or do the machines look like something out of a movie? they look like they have a mind of their own

[@Danny-ds7we]

that's the point of a robot

[@Armadurapersonal]

1:39 Those guys must think all time "one of these days I'll be replaced by a fucking robot"

[@joerobertson7047]

+Aleksandr Kamarov They are probably the union mandated 20% manned workforce.

[@umajoseph]

no vulgar please

[@jokkiossaka3306]

The humans are fucking in the ass by robots and multinationals, thats only vulgar!

[@dcn1651]

Yeah I know right? How are they necessary? There was a robot with suction cups moving around the parts everywhere else except that particular place.

[@satibel]

I don't see what's wrong with getting fucked in the ass by a robot :p

[@viktorask]

I remember times when Monday cars build by human always broke down. Old man say never buy car build on Monday. Anyway now they sorted out that problem

[@peggymaike2902]

I remember that every time we bought a new car, we would carry a little notepad for the first couple of weeks to write down all the glitches so we could get them all fixed at once. Sorry, but the machines are more precise, they don't come to work hung over, they don't get distracted, and the result is a better car. I am sure many will disagree. Just my opinion. Oh, and PS.....I just bought a brand new Mini, which I have wanted for years. I am over the moon happy with it.

[@jeffmullinix7916]

NO they didn't . I had a robot that came in drunk .

[@alittlegreenjean]

i was told that too. i was told it was from the employees recovering from their weekend. .

[@PatrolmanDark]

What an amazing feat of engineering, the car and especially the assembly line! Some narration would be greatly appreciated.

[@dewercompany]

Fantastic i just seen 3 people along the production line

[@magdadrague]

Omg incredible! The robots scare me :D but it's incredible!

[@j2uazon83]

It's necessary to maintain the highest output possible while maintaining quality and consistency. It's also cost effective for the manufacturer. Less man power needed which keeps profits higher. Yes, I work at a similar production plant. The numbers don't lie.

[@johncgibson4720]

j2uazon83 Is each one of those robot arms worth more than a worker's annual salary? I am guessing yes. The human workers don't look worth much in the factory. Maybe mopping the floor is important. Maybe the programmers and robot makers are worth something, but not the workers on the floor.

[@j2uazon83]

John C G They robots eventually pay them selves in the future. They can make that back within a year. After that, you don't have to buy another robot, but workers still need pay. That's why automated production lines are more cost effective. Plus you can yield a higher output. Duh!! Don't you know anything about how mass production works?

[@AdultsAreTalking]

Idk about everyone else but I found it incredible how everything works so fluid when it comes to building a car. And it only takes but so little time to build it from nothing to a fully functioning automobile that someone is going to cherish. Although it did make me wonder how price comes about if everything is just parts and robots. No love.

[@EweChewBrrr01]

2:02 the robotic arm hits the frame.

[@JaihindhReddy]

+EweChewBrrr Yeah. Bothered me too...

[@azzorzer]

+Jaihindh Reddy really? it barely touched it

[@JaihindhReddy]

+azzorzer Look closer, it touched the frame, and the frame moved inward a bit.

[@azzorzer]

Jaihindh Reddy but it didnt damage it?

[@JaihindhReddy]

azzorzer Of course it didn't cause much damage but my point was that when it is just a preprogrammed path on the arm, they should have fixed it later. There is clearly enough space for the arm to do its job without touching the frame.

The robots at 7:00 are TERRIFYING

[@latoriaschannelstayblesed1304]

Everyone's saying how robots are taking jobs but I couldn't imagine doing what they're doing all day everyday for the rest of my life (even if it were just one task like putting on the windshield) lol. I'm pretty sure the idea behind this process was for the benefit of humanity and the fact that they can get their money's worth. This was very satisfying to watch.

@Anders Warming - Couldn’t the new Mini Cooper (2001 model) be manufactured shrunk in size to scale to the size of the original Mini Cooper made in the 1970s like the Mark VII capable of Hybrid drive or even powered by an electric motor and batteries and not by a patrol engine (optional), and see how it sells. I am sure It would make the heads turn.

[@KlunkerRider]

All that automation and they can't make a CVT automatic transmission worth a damn. What you are seeing is part of the reason these cars have such a low reliability rating, there's so much technology invested in the head end tooling. Acknowledging any production or design errors would cause serious delays for redesign then retooling and reprogramming all the robots, all meaning big $$$, so cars are getting built with alot of inherent flaws like the CVT fiasco that no one is willing to fix it because it would mean admitting they have a flawed design process.

[@KlunkerRider]

Boss Buse its based on the reported statistical complaints and repairs per sources like Consumer Reports plus the general comments on consumer sites. The most common complaint is the CVT tranny going wonky and BMW not honoring the warranty. As I said when it goes bad there's apparently no fix, its a replacement job, and that's very expensive. The problem is that its a crap shoot whether you got a good tranny or not. Suffice to say the manual tranny versions are fine and going strong. I've never liked the concept of the CVT, its simple in concept but in reality incredibly complex and very prone to something minor quickly escalating into a major failure. Sort of like a jet engine, but a loose nut in the intake and a catastrophic cascade of failure follows.

[@lovegames9892]

not in Japan

[@KlunkerRider]

Lovegames+ Even Honda and Toyota have had issues with their cars, when you produce cars by the millions around the world, there's always going to be some problems, its just statistical, BMWs is a design issue, hopefully resolved in the latest versions which have been apparently upgraded, we'll see, but in terms of general quality, yes, Japanese robots do seam to be better than the German robots.

[@saralgrif]

KlunkerRider MINI hasn't had a CVT transmission in their models since 2006. Only 1st generation non-s automatic MINIs (r50) had the CVT.

[@cehhunt6262]

Over-specialization are for robots not humans. Humans are supposed to create values and robots make them possible for human consumption and enjoyment. We live in an upside-down world where specialization makes wealth creation difficult to achieve... which also leads to unbearable boredom and stagnation. If our jobs are replaced by robots, it's about time and we should rejoice. It gives us a chance to create something of value to share to the world and break loose from our tunnel visions. It also eliminates envy on those who we think are far better than we are, because they courageously took one step above the ordinary. Breaking out of specialization is immensely liberating. It is somewhat like Traditional Man evolving into Advanced Man. The attitude needed to break out of specialization is "I will do it no matter how tough the task is-even if I currently do not know how to do it." By holding such an effort-based attitude, anyone can break out of the specialization trap. If we think robots are smarter and perfect than we are... obviously, the humans (like us) who built them should take the credit for creating those wonderful helpers.
