I imagine that this stuff will be great for prototyping algorithms and figuring out good applications/requirements, but eventually (like when stuff has to be mass-produced) you'll see physical structures coming back in.

Either gearwork or biologically-inspired designs, replacing some flexible electric rules and brawn with structures that have rules and brawn "baked in".

Sort of like how your knees aren't "soft-coded" for a particular set of angles, it's an emergent property of a system shaped by a particular use.
