Seems like none of y'all even read a few paragraphs into the article.

A human-sized, human-shaped robot can integrate into an existing production layout without having to redesign how the factory works. That's the sell.

To me that's a thinly-veiled way of saying "these things are purpose built to uproot human workers as soon as fucking possible," which would be a great thing if the intent were to remove humans from dangerous and/or unfulfilling jobs and pipe the earnings from the cost reduction/efficiency increase into taxes/ubi/assistance programs so that people can pursue their own dreams and interests without needing to wage slave their healthiest years away trying to survive.

But that's never the intent; it's always to add more zeroes to the balance sheet of the people at the top.

Well, versatility. No need to redesign a new monolithic welder robot when the new car design is 1m longer or whatever. I mean there must be loads of things that change all the time.
