Someone has to build the robots and write the software.

Very true. There will be some new opportunities based on this.
But there will be workers who are displaced. I question what happens to minimum wage type workers, who are not educated and don’t have job skills to move into higher level employment.
This touches on a lot of other areas, such as having a well educated work force, making sure our people have the skills needed for the jobs of the future, and all that. I don’t know that we as a society have a good handle on that at present. When you see stories, such as yesterday’s story that half of Detroit’s residents are functionally illiterate, it makes you shudder at their prospects for the future.
Robots will be programmed to invent, assemble and repair themselves as needed to complete the assigned project goals.
It is likely that Robots will speak to each other at rates of speed too fast for any human to follow just by ear. The speech of the robots may not have any sound, being digital in nature. There will be apps developed to make Robot dialog understandable to most people.
My son likes to tinker a lot more than study, I am trying to encourage him to get into robotics repair. A fella could learn some basic electronic skills and using diagnostic programs for that sort of thing and make a truckload of money over the next years, even if at an assembly line operation those things are going to glitch now and then.
