Let's think 10 years ahead: Do robotic arms have a future?

This humanoid robot was presented at IREX Tokyo. At first it moves very clumsily, but then it becomes much more stable. In direct comparison with a robotic arm, it has several advantages: Greater reach and two arms. Ideally, it can really move like a human and also use its fingers. If all this were given, there would be no need to convert a workplace. Humans and humanoid robots could work alternately. Perhaps even together.

The question would then be what disadvantages it would have: The price would certainly be one. However, this can already be put into perspective if a hybrid cobot is needed today. It is also not yet really supple, i.e. the cycle time today would be significantly less than that of a human. Hence the question, what will happen in the next 10 years? I can imagine that today's deficits will soon no longer exist. Such a robot would also be ideal for use in nursing.

Addendum: It would be conceivable to use him on weekends: If there are problems in the unmanned shifts, it plays everything to an employee sitting at home. The employee then directs the robot to solve the problem.

The video makes it clear that it doesn't always have to be Boston Dynamics.
