They still have the hockey stick around as a reminder to Atlas.

    Current robots are better when designed for a specific job, but that means only corps with enough scale can afford robots

    What about much smaller companies that can’t afford to design and build a robot for a specific task? There are thousands of these companies, doing things at smaller scale so not able to automate. However a robot with similar capabilities to a human, that could be trained like a human, and doesn’t cost like an industrial robot, can fill in for a human at all of these companies

      I mean in the far distant future… yeah I agree.

      But back to preset times, when robots like these are cheap enough for a small company to buy over hiring someone, then it will be cheap enough to buy custom robots too.
