Would "single purpose robot" be another reasonable term for welding robots? Just musing. The earlier "when compared to humans" statement definitely sounds pretty accurate to me, worded as "mutli-purpose robots currently always are less robust than humans at the same set of tasks" (or similar) |

Specialization has tradeoffs. Humans are very optimized generalists but very few of us become specialist at more than one thing. Even in that case a specialized machine/robot can be far faster, depending on the task of course.
Of course humans have a lot of trade offs for their abilities as generalists... taking years to mature, requiring sleep, poor integration with computer systems are just some of them.
