>these robot don’t need lighting or air conditioning, no unions , no overtime.
That's not entirely correct. They need air conditioning because the bins they carry around need to be climate controlled. And they need humans to pick things up from the floors when they fall out of the bins and sometimes drag the Kivas away manually when they malfunction.
Automation is at the point now where it can put a lot of people out of work but it also creates its own class of expensive problems that still need human intervention.
