If 'the 99%' owned the robots it could help

We should be able to have open source robots.

Most AI tools are open source. Datasets as well, at least the research ones. 3D printers and CNC might help with making robot bodies.

The source code (data sets, license, etc) is one thing, but the actual physical robot is something else.
Tools are open, code is open, but datasets are not. I think they are the main 'secret sauce' in case of self-driving cars.
