        Honestly I find it really hard to imagine a humanoid robot (at least without muscle induced mobility) maintaining an aircraft/plumbing and so on.

        I can imagine the use case. I don’t see this tech being anywhere close to maturity in this decade though. The amount of processing power would be CRAZY to deal with these tasks, no? Computer vision + motor skills. Add actual mobility to that. What would be the power source? Definitely not a battery! Would it be like a cable connected to a wall outlet or something?

      Running cost of a robot is far lower than the running cost of a human.

          That’s a terrible idea.

          Are we meant to be taxing excel and automated telephone exchanges, what about the printing press or solar panels?

          All those have lower running costs than industries they replaced that had more workers.
