Article says that the operating cost of robots is now about $1 per hour in the U.S. I presume that includes the amortization of purchase price.

There are 8,760 hours in a 365 day year.

I have no idea what any particular robot costs, but it has to be awfully cheap for $8760 to cover maintenance, power, human supervision & programming, and amortization.
