A Chinese company is selling a humanoid robot for $1,370. Will most future humanoid robots be widely owned by everybody? (www.humanoidsdaily.com)

NOETIX's Bumi Robot isn't as impressive as humanoid robots by industry leaders like Boston Dynamics and Unitree, but its price is. If a Chinese company can sell humanoids at this price, then it will be able to do the same in 2030 & 2035 when they are much more advanced.

People often wonder how the future economy will function when AI & robots are capable of most jobs. What if that future economy also has most of us owning several robots, too?

I want a removable battery in my robot.

Both for the obvious, paranoid, silly reason, and also for other reasons that actually make sense.
