Absolutely. I don’t see them completely replacing human though. The computer replaced entire careers like file clerks and number crunchers who would hand-tabulate spreadsheets and ledgers. And yet now we have new careers like database architects and cyber security specialists. Robots are exceptional at certain tasks that involve extreme precision and repeatability, they can also be used in environments hazardous to humans as @HP mentions.
I follow a lot of amateur robotics content on YouTube and the barrier to entry for the hobbyist is much lower than it’s ever been. Between affordable 3d printers, cheap electric motors/gearboxes and Arduinos/Raspberry Pis, one can build some pretty impressive proof of concept robots for a few hundred dollars or less.
Welcome to Fluther. Great question.
