# Anthropic: robots can do most physical tasks but cost too much

30 Sep 2026 1 min read News · Science

Covering about 900 jobs and 19,000 tasks, the analysis finds robots can do three quarters of physical tasks but are cheaper than people on just 0.3%.

## Findings

Robots can technically perform three quarters of US physical job tasks, about 34% of working hours, yet they are cost-competitive on only 0.3%. If prices keep falling at past rates, reaching 10% would take 40 years.

## Who is exposed

Workers in robot-exposed jobs are more often male, less educated and lower paid, and over 50 years those jobs saw bigger falls in wages and employment. Adding language models, about 80% of working time is exposed to robots, models or both.
