Dec 30, 2015 at 23:27 comment added Paul ...artificial intelligence algorithms are very good in making decisions - "Good" is not enough. Would you want an AI car to keep you alive only 72.3% of the time???. In the most coveted AI robot applications, people expect autonomy execute PERFECTLY in a world where stochastically chaotic operating conditions are the norm. The best "algorithms" only work in limited (i.e. ideal) environments. There is no general purpose AI software that can enable a robot to "handle everything and anything".

Feb 4, 2013 at 18:14 comment added Andrew Thompson On a side note, my brother worked for Komatsu for a long while. They offered an automated open-cut mining system. Many potential customers were not interested since they would have to 'fight the unions' to get them into the workplace. It was also considered a 'no show' for any mine that also had people working, for the safety factor. A while ago I heard, that they had managed to get the system into one or two newly started mines, but doubt that on the basis of lack of evidence.
Jan 18, 2013 at 1:21 comment added ThomasH search and rescue robots were deployed at the world trade centre over a decade ago. Apparently it was the first real-life deployment and, depending on who you ask, the robots performed abysmally bad or quite well, but most rescue robots are remote operated, so they're not examples that are really applicable to your question
