Buddy, it’s right there on the page I linked. Even your article says they’re hoping to get the price down to under $30k, at some point. That’s why I looked up their website directly, to see how much they’re currently selling them for. It’s $214k. I don’t know what else to tell you.
I see one for $43k on there, I don’t see any for $200k on that site
But that’s kinda irrelevant, as is how much Amazon’s robots cost. The point is how quickly robotics is advancing
There’s so many companies making these that I can’t find the one I saw weeks ago. They’re being tested in real world conditions. There’s a million groups playing with these things, trying to get them to do more and more tasks
And think of what full automation would look like… It would be a bunch of factory equipment like it is now. The automatons just need to carry and place stuff between stations, maybe slot things together and screw them in. That’s not that high a bar
I just don’t see the line where any of that is impossible. It seems inevitable if society doesn’t collapse this decade

Were you not able to open the link to their website? You can buy one today for $214k. It’s the D9 model from your article.
