    I think a lot of those robots are very expensive and liable to break the bones of onlookers when they go wrong…

      I don’t think they’re for sale, more of a research thing right now, but the point is that the technology is there, it just hasn’t reached the market yet.

      As for being liable to break the bones of onlookers… This is always the argument that comes up for some reason, same as self-driving cars. In reality, I’ve known my fair share of humans who are liable to break the bones of onlookers when things go wrong too.

        Yes, those things will make it eventually too, I don’t mean to imply they won’t. Just emphasising that we can see the difficulty of the task still in those current efforts.
