Cost will be the reason why these over engineered robots fail. Cost is the reason why indoor vertical farms fail, even though in their case, the environment is controlled and the tech is relatively simple compared to omnipotent field robots.

The most viable use case of AI is bullshiting humans, which is still a multi-billion market. Infrastructure hooray!


I look at this a bit more generously: We're pushing the boundaries of what's technically possible. At least for niche use cases, I'm convinced bipedal robots and GenAI will have lasting value. Are they the next automobile / electricity / smartphone? I'm sceptical.
