  • Priest
  • Politician
  • Any labour that can't be efficiently automated. Making robots traverse earth is still astoninglishly difficult (Even the foremost "naturally moving" robots are usually highly scripted)

Traverse earth as in move through natural terrain? What is your perspective on things like the Boston Dynamics robots, which only accept high-level navigation controls?

Are you talking about the dance and parkour routines? I meant the navigation they use for industrial use, which is not at all like this.
