Robot Automation wouldn’t do jack shit in the larger scale in 10 years. May be 50 years yes, not 10. Robots right now are bulky and incredibly expensive device

Robots right now are bulky and incredibly expensive devices which don’t even come close to human dexterity, intelligence or flexibility.
Look at self driving cars. First DARPA driving challenge happened in 2004 and self driving cars are still very dumb and have killed a few people on the road. Simulation hours don’t count. Real driving hours without human engagement count.
Sure in soft intelligence like speech recognition, language translation, vision we’ve done big advances. Deep Surveillance is going to be a real thing where every individual/car is tracked through the city.
But replacing a ~billion jobs with robots. Not going to happen.
Unless we have huge advances in bio manufacturing and computing. Doing it like DNA does it. Building machines from the same fabric we’re made of. Grow the machines from watery goo at scale. Make artificial muscles that are strong, fast, accurate, light and quiet.
Now that would be the stuff of science fiction brought to reality.
