Robots are more expensive and are less capable than people? What a surprise! Not. I saw that coming years ago… 🙄

Unfortunately the robots are substantially faster and more effective than humans. Can you run at ~45 mph?
The issue is complexity and that’s something that’s getting better over time.

sprinkle in a bit of AI into the mix and now it’s not only more expensive, but also highly regressive.
