I am not convinced the limiting factor is the computing power on device or the price of computing. I would rather bet on current "AI" not been good at general purpose tasks.
Coherent thinking and creativity (AGI) is way above and away from the neural nets we got now.
And I'd argue that's what needed to make robots super helpful with random human tasks.
- alexgmcm 7y agoI think full warehouse automation e.g. Amazon will be the next one to go. As it requires a large amount of labour so there is a lot of possible savings and consists of repetitive tasks in a controlled environment. It would also be better PR to have robots than workers in bad conditions (stories about workers urinating in bottles etc. have made headlines in the UK).

- deadbunny 7y agoAs far as I know they grab the items and bag them, then deliver the filled bags to the loading area. Not sure where the human interaction happens from there.
