That 100% something else. Industrial robots are almost allways in a cage for safety. I know there are 'cobots' now, but I just never saw one, except in showcases. Industrial robots just do a fixed task and are dumber than a slice bread. Industrial robots are super heavy for what they can lift. Even they are very efficient with energy, they are still allways on main grid / no batteries.

The huge task is anyway not to build a robot. The huge part is to make the robot (or any device) smarter than a slice bread.
