I think $5k is still high. Fundamentally these things aren’t any more complex than a Roomba, and those sell for $100-$1000. If you want to add a cheap robot arm to it, maybe double the price.
”But those don’t have the accuracy and reliability required for a commercial environment”
A Kiva robot can lift and carry >1000 lbs. Your Roomba can’t.
That arm doesn’t have the strength or reach for useful commercial applications. It uses cheap planetary gears that don’t have enough angular precision for most robotic arm applications and aren’t specified for a long lifetime.

Yeah, AI fixes this.
