Actually that’s not true at all, there’s lots of interest in robotics (check out Boston Dynamic) but it’s a reallyreally hard problem. The main issue is developing a controlling intelligence sophisticated enough to be able to use the robot to do a diverse range of tasks. The actual physical mechanical building of the robot isn’t that hard.
Of course the way you get that controlling intelligence is AI. So he is complaining about people developing a solution to the problem he’s demanding that they solve. He’s not happy because they’re not magically skipping steps.
This idiot wants fully sapient robots without developing AI in the first place, not sure how on earth he expects that to happen.
I think you’re underestimating the mechanical and chemistry problems that still need to be solved before autonomous robots that can perform a task like ship salvage effectively. There’s a very good reason that basically all industrial robots spend their lives plugged into a wall socket.
I feel like maybe you didn’t understand the point I was making, which was the hardest part is the AI. Since everything else is easy because once you have the AI you automatically have all your other problems solved.

This is correct, why is it being downvoted?

Ah you’re right, Boston Dynamic’s Spot robot tours entire factories and refineries all while being plugged into a wall socket!
