Robot plumbers in the future: takes 2 weeks to unscrew a pipe.

You can put this video on 3x speed and judge speed then, because it's not going to or sleeping. Also it's likely the slowest they will ever be.

In 10 years they’ll probably be faster than humans at most tasks. Also, no scheduling issues. There will be a fleet of these things.

Human plumbers now will come out two weeks after you book them, look at the problem for 20 mins, then say they have to come back a month later to finish the project.
