Pretty much all existing factory automation has _not_ used humanoid robots.
- msdz 1mo agoHm, true that. I’m guessing because the typical factory was already larger/taller than human height? (Thinking of e.g. car production)
- eru 1mo agoI'm guessing it's because making specialised robots was so much cheaper and easier than usable humanoid robots. See also the humble domestic dishwasher. It's a robot that washes dishes and works in an environment that's otherwise sized for humans and hasn't really been redesigned to accommodate robots. Similar also for washing machine and dryer etc.
