We can see the Made in China 2025 initiative in action. China's innovations in green energy production pave the way for things like this to happen. Meanwhile the collective West tries to milk the LLM craze when China is already far past that point.

This stuff is still in its infancy, and practical applications are limited today, but it's not hard to imagine that this stuff will improve fairly rapidly. The main use I can see is for robots doing work in spaces that are primarily designed for humans, such as doing house chores.
One can imagine these being installed in luxury homes by default and being treated as a regular appliance and maintains the house 24/7. Probably won't be available for general use in a long while outside of major cities. But there's nothing stopping the innovation from happening because of China's energy sovereignty.
I can also imagine these things being installed in community kitchens, taking care of public spaces, and so on.
It's my understanding that they still are limited to repeated tasks, but honestly, that is more than good enough. 10 slow robots doing the job of one guy in a menial assembly job is a worthwhile improvement, just so that person doesn't get carpal tunnel.
Exactly, tedious repetitive tasks tend to be the most soul crushing types of jobs, and if those can be automated that frees up people to do more interesting things. I can also see a benefit for stuff that's repetitive with a potential risk of injury. Doing a repetitive task for a prolonged period makes the mind wander and that's how you end up getting hurt.
