Well, most elements on this list would allow us to move beyond needing so many assumptions. Lots of cost could be saved if I didn't need to perfectly measure all my owrkoffsets or didn't have to spend lots of time on designing my workspace to avoid singularities. Also it would allow us to move from relatively narrow-purpose machines ("move this end effector to this position within +/-0.01mm") to much more general jobs, hence opening more to automation.
