100% agreed, as someone who’s automated manufacturing lines, the problem of automation is beyond just robotics. It’s automation with high reliability, yield, less downtime, high throughput, low costs and have to beat humans in the long tail of weird situations. The reason why your home printer can separate sheets of paper and only pick one sheet at a time is nothing short of a miracle backed by thousands of hours of engineering and years of failures. That said, some applications are very easy and we could automate effortlessly (Pick-and-place tools for example in PCB manufacturing).
