That concern is valid. Thanks for sharing. Along side the human labor replaced, which is a significant social and economic cost, we also need to think of energy needs to power the robots and their environmental impact at end of life.
Thank you, Mahelet, for raising these very important points in this excellent post. I absolutely agree with you that the adjectives that have been used to describe these robots are very much up for interpretation. In particular, "unsafe" causes me some concern for exactly the reasons you have outlined.
The cost of replacing human labour is extinction level climate change. :-(
