>and are far more expensive to repair and maintain than a human being

Fillpy the robot will not:

  - need vacations
  - go on maternity leave
  - call in sick
  - steal from work
  - be rude to customers
  - go to work hungover from drinking
  - come in high/stoned at work
  - sue you for X,Y,Z
  - sexually harass colleagues
  - go on strike
  - start a union

All those pale in comparison to repair costs. That's why companies are pushing for automation. Because Flippy does its job quietly and diligently 24/7 without complaining.
