In the video, two FigureAi robots make a bed in 2 minutes.
It seems that this is just a theatrical production to boast of a seemingly not so great achievement.
But after a few years it can turn into something completely different. Something that will be of great importance for countries that are very dependent on the tourist and hotel sectors. Such as, for example, Spain in Europe, Thailand in Asia and Mexico in North America. I am not talking about micro-states like the Maldives or Andorra, where the dependence of the economy on these factors is total.
Here are some such calculations. They are very simple and therefore clearly full of errors and inaccuracies, but they can give an indicative perspective to where we are going in general.
This is all as of 2026:
Robot Figure 02/Helix-02 → approximately 120,000 euros.
Labor efficiency: 80% of human.
Working day: 8 effective hours.
Payback in an average hotel: more than 5 years.
As you can see, today mathematics and economics do not coincide. This does not seem like a profitable investment.
But robotics obeys Wright's law: with each doubling of production volume, the price drops by 15–25%. The same has ALREADY happened with semiconductors, solar panels, and generative AI.
This is how the situation will look already in 2028:
The price of the Figure robot will already drop to 70,000 euros.
His efficiency will already surpass that of a human.
Working day: not 8, but 12 hours. Given that work does not require social insurance, premiums, vacations and sick leave.
Payback: already 2-3 years.
And what will happen in 2030?
The price of the job will be even lower: 55,000 euros per job.
Working day: 16 hours of uninterrupted work. All the same, no social "bonuses" are needed.
Net savings for 5 years of operation of such a robot: +300,000 euros.
Here is such a simple video, where a robot makes a bed in 2026 will COMPLETELY rewrite the economy and business in 2030.
The point is not when YOU decide to automate your business.
What is important is when YOUR COMPETITOR will do it and whether it will be more profitable for him. When he does this, and if his costs fall by 60%, your business will be over, even if you just follow your previously successful model, without changing anything.
A paradox that no power on Earth wants to talk about.
Minimum wage has increased by 66% since 2018. And the goal of raising the minimum wage is well justified: to protect wages and the purchasing power of citizens. I'm not trying to criticize the growth of MROT, but its side effect is PARADOXICAL: it accelerates the achievement of the robot's break-even point. The higher labor costs grow, the faster these two curves intersect. It's simpler: the more expensive a living person costs, the faster the business will understand that it is more profitable to replace him with a robot.
Therefore, the question is no longer whether there will be mass automation (obviously yes), but whether someone is preparing real political measures and plans for the moment of its onset. Because, as far as I know, there are very few such plans now, and all of them are more philosophical than realistic...
