Robot Internals and the Future

The brains (software) of the robots has exceeded or outpaced the development of the body. Our advancements in AI software has significantly exceeded our mechanical development. Namely, because we don't have a powerplant that can sustain a robot for more than 24hrs, but we have software that can handle months of operation without human intervention.

This unbalance means that when we get to a point where we robots with close to human like movement and energy systems, we will begin to see a rapid decline in many manual labor jobs. By that point, I believe we will eventually be able to source raw materials from near by planetary bodies on a daily basis.
