Automation, broadly referring to the adoption of machines and computers in the production process has become increasingly more popular across many sectors and countries. For example, the market for industrial robots has experienced a dramatic expansion in the last couple of decades. At the same time, the prices of labour and robots have been changing. The case of the US manufacturing sector in the last few decades is shown in Figure 2. Now, consider Bruno, who owns a small manufacturing firm and produces windscreens for automobiles. Currently Bruno uses two robots and ten workers including Angela in his production. Now answer the questions based on the given information:

1. Based on the information in Figure 2, illustrate in a diagram how Bruno would decide to use more robots in his firm to minimise production costs. Your diagram should have the number of workers on the horizontal axis and the number of robots on the vertical axis. It is not necessary to use specific numbers.
2. Explain why the market for industrial robots have expanded in the last couple of decades as shown in Figure 1. You must refer to the information from Figure 2 and the diagram you drew in the previous question.
