The day is coming when general-purpose humanoid robots will be able to do all the physical work any human can do. The only question is when. Looking at this demo, you've got to wonder - is that day sooner than we might think?

In the Western world a typical annual minimum wage job is in the range of $30,000 per year. Robots like this will be expensive to start with, but even if they cost $60K, they'll pay for themselves in 2 years if they are replacing a human worker. No doubt China will quickly get on the case making them even cheaper.
