Richtech's transition from prototypes to manufacturing deployment of Dex humanoids represents the critical inflection point where humanoid labor moves from demo to economic reality. The RaaS model at $0.3M quarterly revenue, while still small, establishes the pricing framework that will determine whether humanoids can undercut human labor costs in hospitality and manufacturing within the next 2-3 years. This deployment timeline puts real humanoid workers in factories by mid-2026, making the abstract future of robot labor suddenly concrete.
