A proof of concept robot is delivering food on a university campus and this author thinks that means "robots are replacing human labour for good" lol this has been used as a threat to the working class for generations it's an empty threat, if these jobs could be automated for less cost they would be, most advances in "automation" over the past 40 years or so was actually slave labour done overseas

All these articles fail to recognize the biggest automation already happened, computers and internet. There is more work now than before. This last mile stuff is really hard and will take a long time, in many cases it will be more expensive with maintenance/upkeep. You can bet companies will have better healthcare plans for the robots though.
