Overview
[...]a state-of-the-art humanoid hand from Sanctuary AI has only 21 degrees of freedom, giving it a more constrained range of motion than human hands. [...]end effectors have better dexterity, speed, and sensitivity, tasks such as tying shoelaces or peeling a banana will remain moonshot-level challenges. Supply chain bottlenecks, especially for high-precision actuators and sensors, continue to delay production, and integration with factory systems remains expensive and inconsistent. Overall, general-purpose robots can cost anywhere from about $15,000 to $250,000 per unit, with payback periods often exceeding two years in early pilots.; Humanoid maintenance costs are also high. Each repair, including shipping and technician labor, may require up to $1,000, and potential downtime could increase the expense.
