Yep. These are some of the things that will make a robot that can “do all” something way in the future. A trivial example is running a factory motor. The human running it, will check the oil, will check the bearings, will check power consumption, and with all those things will determine the heath of the motor. The robot can do all that. However, the human, maybe even unconsciously sometimes after 10+ years of experience, ALSO uses their sense of smell to determine if the motor might be “burning” a bit of the oil, and then might suspect that the bearing are a little out of whack, or maybe a seal has sprung a tiny leak, or maybe someone forgot to change the oil, or maybe someone changed the oil but inadvertently used old oil, or maybe one of 100 other things. The robot can’t do that. Even if the robot has odor sensors added, even the MOST sensitive odor sensors, there is no way for the robot to “learn” what a suspicious odor is, and what is nothing to worry about. That’s because when training on videos of humans, or even when given human instruction, there’s no way to describe that odor. It is something innate in humans that live for years, and experience odors all their lives, and then experience odors and isolate a specific odor and then make the connection to something in the motor. Now someday a robot may be able to do so, but not anytime soon. Now, don’t get me wrong, they do have odor sensing devices, even very good ones, but describing odors is very difficult - usually you need to cause the odor to happen and then see the sensor reaction and record that as “odor 34652”. But that’s not enough for that faint whiff of motor oil burning ever so slightly at the very beginning of the potential issue. And as more and more burns, you get the real characteristic odor which might be picked up by robot. But that isn’t all, the human may have a “feeling” about a motor, maybe they felt an ever so slight vibration that is different than it used to be, or different than the other motors, and the human may have filed deep in the recesses of their mind, “hey, I should keep special watch over that motor because I have a feeling about it”.
That’s not to say that someday robots may learn how to do all this stuff, they probably will. But it isn’t on the order of years, it’s more like decades at best. It’s similar to all those folks that seem to think that we can switch over to all electric vehicles in 10 or 15 years. That’s not possible for many reasons, it’ll take a few decades at best.
