Claims about the ability of robots to perform physical tasks, especially occupational or manual labor, at or near human levels of dexterity, strength, and versatility.
Insufficient task-specific training data limits AI automation of tasks requiring physical or tacit knowledge.

Robots will eventually match human physical dexterity and manipulation across general tasks.
