Futurology

I don't think there won't be mass adoption that soon. From what I've seen, fine motor skills are lacking, there isn't much training data to brute force it and other learning doesn't translate that well. The demos that show more are slow or remote controlled. Most not remotely controlled robots seem at the level of a trained chimp, so they can go and fetch stuff, or store things. Give them a peeler, a pot, some vegetables and expecting them to prepare dinner is way too far for a robot. Making coffee or tea is kinda the highlight, and it's pretty expensive for a coffee machine.

Robots can be useful for places that need some waiters, but that seems early take-off phase. But once fine motor skills and learning by watching a few videos are sorted out, then they'll take off. That's being worked on. Hell, it was announced this week they got it working in the lab. Once that goes into production models, things will move rapidly.

Yes.

There are probably quite a few inflection points coming, and that is one of them.

I think another is when they are capable of most unskilled work (supermarket shelf stacking, cleaning, etc), but cost less to employ than humans paid Western-country minimum wages.
