Anshuman Kumar(@anshuman_builds):A robot that does EVERYTHING sounds nice, until you realize there's not even a human that does EVERYTHING. There's plenty of specialization in human bodies and intelligence, even within physical labor. The tools are specialized and so are the consumables. The way to home robotics utopia is to solve one problem at a time, and to solve it really well. Everything else is lazy design thesis.
