AI Summary

Estimates of what a robot costs per hour vary widely, and that spread is now central to how investors size the physical AI market. Roland Berger puts the figure at $2 an hour, JPMorgan says $10 to $12, and early industrial deployments run above $35 an hour, Fortune Term Sheet reports. The gap matters because utilization, not the sticker price of the hardware, determines whether physical AI becomes a trillion-dollar market: a robot that sits idle carries its cost across fewer billed hours. The reports do not resolve which estimate is right.
