Okay. You will be able do a job you could not do before so they cut your disability check, but then give the job to a robot that does it for free.

The problem with our society is that they want everything on the market NOW. If medical care is a right, then EVERYONE should be able to have these devices IMMEDIATELY regardless of cost. The way the market works, innovation creates expensive products that eventually come down in price to the point where anyone can afford them, but that may take anywhere from two years to a decade. But at that point, there is something new and fancy that everyone wants. The article is right that its like cell phones. You can get an early generation iPhone or Samsung Galaxy from practically nothing. Anyone can afford one. But, of course, no one wants one. They want the $700 model.

I’ll just get a disabled robot.
My robot can only do half of it’s rated capacity.
Where is my check?

Keep the disabled, disabled. If you allow them to rise up, they will take over. PUSH THEM BACK INTO THEIR WHEELCHAIRS.

Argus 2 is not better than natural eyesight. It is dependent on functioning retinal cells. If you don’t have any, it will not function. Whatever retinal cells still function will be less then what exists in a healthy human eye.
