This, and ease of transition. I imagine if you're buying a robot for a factory/complex/rig/jobsite, you would want one that can access anywhere a human can. You can't just rebuild a factory for a couple robots

Does the robot need to eat its robot lunch in the breakroom and share some robot memes w/ its robot bros? We already have robotics in factories, when they are more efficient than humans the factories are retrofitted or rebuilt around the new machines.
But not everyone is Amazon. A small business isn’t going to rebuild their leased building, but they’d happily pay 50k for a robot.
