Do you expect this to be true indefinitely? Robot production scaling has barely started.

Outside of factory type situations? Yes.

The world is vastly messier than engineers like to assume, and every real world trial I’ve seen requires massive human babysitting of a robot by humans for it to last any length of time or be useful at all.

And we’re not talking about AI type stuff, but corrosion, terrible field conditions causing sensor issues (mud, sap, dirt/dust), power management issues, communication disruption due to terrain, enemy action, etc.
