Part 4/11:
Beyond domestic chores, these robots are showcased performing warehouse tasks—packing boxes and navigating on wheels or Segways—implying a future where they could replace human workers in logistics and e-commerce. While this could lead to efficiencies and cost reductions, it raises widespread fears over job displacement, especially for lower-skilled labor. Critics speculate that heavier, more muscular models might soon be developed to handle heavier packages, hinting at a robotics arms race targeting manual labor sectors.
