I think the cost problem can at least partially be solved by taking the "sharing economy" approach. Eg, you don't own the robot, you rent it.

It still has to compete with minimum wage.

Even at 100% utilization, that robot can't be $500,000

It doesn’t have to pay for itself every year, which helps. (Still too much though, maybe...)
