Why are sales so low?
The story reveals only 7,000 humanoid robots were sold last year, a tiny fraction compared to traditional factory robots. This suggests they're still very much in an early, experimental stage. High costs, limited capabilities, and the need for further development likely contribute to their low adoption outside of research and specialist firms.
