you are leaving out a whole host of use cases bro. maybe in the past robotics was just for industrial use cases. but there are orders of magnitude other use cases that a ROS can help solve. simple things around the house , in the neighborhood, and other mechatronic integrations that would not properly called a robot. I would say the ones you are addressing with billy bob on the 3rd shift are like 1 percent of the cases. There are plenty of things you can actuate in the world that dont require sub mm repeatability. like what about tending my hydroponic vertical garden? theres nothing about the ubiquitous robotic future of humankind that needs any of the things you mentioned. thats more of an improvement on current use cases.
