Ever hear the old story of John Henry the “steel-driving man?”There was a time when track was laid by hand because no machine could do it. Robots that do all the things you listed are coming. Robots that don’t take breaks or stop working after eight hours. Maybe not this year, or next, but it will happen.
“Maybe not this year, or next, but it will happen.”
When? I got to ask Ray Kurzweil, perhaps the pre-eminent AI technology forecaster (Former head of the AI center at MIT, developer of OCR technology that first enabled computers to read text, and a VP at Google/Alphabet, who lead their robotics efforts).
He said that general purpose household robots would be coming out around the last few years of the 2020’s - about as strong, mobile and dexterous as humans.
Once you have machines generally capable of human-like work, the rest is software apps for specific tasks. They could also be operated remotely by human experts, or bigger specialized computers over the network.
