I don't think that a robot like Tempo Automation's is the issue. We have low cost cncs and pick-n-place machines, and more importantly places like sierra circuits. The harder problem is, like ChuckMcM described it, an easy to use high level abstraction over the hardware to simplify and accelerate the design process. Fabbing a board isn't the hard part.
