Human-controlled robots shown to make manufacturing safer, more efficient

I really hope the first big robotic wave will be humans from low-wage countries controlling robots in richer countries. With fast enough internet everywhere there is no problem having someone in India folding my laundry with some simple robot that can't leave my basement for example.

Nice scenario for a horror movie when this robot gets hacked or remote operator replaced by somebody with evil intentions. We can’t secure our cellphones and bank accounts. A robot from a “move fast and break things” type startup will be even worse.

Literally a "move fast and break things" robot!

I think part of the issue is that for things like this, the maintenance cost on robots is often not worth the investment compared to a human (it is sometimes).
