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.
