Lyn being right AGAIN.
I think humanoid robots that walk around in the world will be at the tail end of robotics development, primarily because they’re largely a novelty or luxury.
All the stuff we really want robots to do can be done by non-humanoid robots.
Advanced self-driving equipment automates things like farming and mining. More intricate industrial machinery further automates manufacturing and power station maintenance. Even activities such as law enforcement can be done by non-human robots (setting aside whether or not people want that).
And on and on.
It seems that robotics will have to advance quite a bit before humanoid robots are functional and economical enough for widespread use.
Most likely, the production of humanoid robots will be enabled by the efficiency gains brought by non-humanoid robots.
