Does this make telepresence / human controlled robotics either always on or step in for complex tasks, more relevant in the near to mid term?

Good question, it's already a thing for some use cases; what they can do in surgery is pretty amazing, but that's a use case where the robotic things have a huge benfit over people themselves. But that's a clear usecase of a complex task. For banal tasks like folding laundry... it'll remain more practical to just do it yourself, in the flesh. It can be done remotely but due to the limitations of robots and the internet it'll be slower and more expensive.
