Autonomous robots sound cool, but there are so many problems that could benefit from robotic automation that don’t require full autonomy. In controlled environments where we know the entire state of the (local) world including the position of our robotic swarm we can deterministically plan a motion and leave the world in an expected end state. Maybe use a bit CV to make sure our assumptions are right, if not hit the break else continue. Construction, mining, infrastructure, agriculture, manufacturing, logistics all contain problems spaces that could use non- or semi-autonomous robotic automation. Still a difficult problem, but how can we expect full autonomy without controlled robotic environments first? Yes we use robots in manufacturing and a few warehouses, but that’s it..?
