    But for deeper automation you’d want to design workflows from the ground up with robots in mind. And in that case I bet that humanoid robots are hardly ever the optimal solution.

    These are starting to exist: China has “dark factories” where the lights are usually turned off because they function fully automated. Ongoing automation is a thing, truly useful humanoid robots are not. That’s by the way also true for military technology which is often a glimpse into the technical future.

      Yeah, and it certainly isn’t just china. Tom Scott had this video some years ago by now, that imo is a nice example how different a warehouse could look when it is designed for robots rather than humans.
