No doubt. But, it's still not free labor. Also, the maintenance will be expensive and that will have to be factored in. Robots also require preventive maintenance, they are not something that you want to let run until it breaks. Prior to my stint as an engineer for GE Healthcare I was a field engineer for Applied Materials in the semiconductor industry. Probably 25% of my job was programming and maintaining simple robots.
