That is true MolotovCocktail as I see a lot more "self service" used in industries like retail banks.
They want you to use the ATM machine that offers different services, and usually only have 1 teller. The ATM machine has an AI-human assistant.
I heard some local hipster restaurants are going to use AI-robot waiters in the next few years.

But I see even manufacturing going more into robotics with the genesis of this going back about 40 years with robots using for paint booth operations and tack welding stations.
Elon Musk is a major visionary in regards to this. Tesla's robot, named Optimus, is a general-purpose humanoid robot designed to perform dangerous, repetitive, or boring tasks. Developed by Tesla, Inc., it is intended for use in factories to improve safety and efficiency, and in the future, for household chores and other consumer applications. The robot uses Tesla's AI technology, including its Autopilot system, and is being trained on tasks like walking, carrying objects, and precise manipulation.

They have self serve kiosks at McDonald's, and one employee taking the orders of the customers and entering them into the self serve kiosk for the customers. That's how well it's going ;)

The industry faces a significant gap between investment and revenue, but profitable models are emerging in specialized areas, with long-term success depending on maturing technology, falling costs, and clear, valuable applications.

Humanoid robots aren't ideal for automated factories.

It's about damn time someone besides me admits it.
I have been saying humanoid robots are ill-suited to do 10% of human physical feats.
I even was saying a sex robot would be pure fantasy. Back when the sex dolls were first being developed.
People were expecting an Optimus Prime style robot skinned in latex and silicone. I didn't see how there would be room down there for a dick. What with all of the motors, gears and actuators and all. I was assured I didn't know what I was talking about.
The folks here eventually had to settle on a full latex mannequin.
Then without even reconciling that truth, everyone jumped right on the robots were going to replace burger flippers and manufacturing jobs.
In the meantime, every robot that has been unveiled thus far, has the motor skills of a drunken 80 year old, hip replacement patient.
It's a scary world we live in, how many seemingly intelligent people that can't tell the difference between Science Fiction and reality.
It's no different that people believe in Big Foot and Zombies. Which the same fucking people probably do.

Not just androids, but with flying cars. Even if the tech was fully developed, the costs and liability insurance would make them unaffordable.

We would need to first deport all Muslims and probably take away licenses from Asian women.

In development for 25 years.
Don't hold your breath for robot McD's workers running the place.
