"Teleoperation intervention may solve the problem practically but damages the unit economic of the deployments" - Perhaps there is some in-between paradigm where the robot takes general guidance from a human and executes it (or specific guidance at critical times), freeing a human operator to tend to multiple robots at once.
I suppose this is sort of how automotive or even airplane autopilots work today. Generally they do their thing, but need a human to step in at critical times. If the human is looking down from a factory control tower (or whatever) to step in as needed, there might be a delay at times, but one operator could take care of many robots.
The gap between capability and deployability is effectively a systems design problem.

100% agreed. The nuance for RFM-powered systems is that, at this stage, require low level steering as a form of teleoperation.
A whole new sector of teleoperation intervention made by low-cost labor is being established in Mexico and India. Which I find super interesting
