Robots and the physical work
Anthropic rates 39% of the working time of the people in this area as physical work. For 28% of the working time, a robot has been shown doing most of the task somewhere: 20% in a purpose-built cell, 8% in a structured facility, 1% in any setting. 0.37 of 3.
- Not physical 61%
- No robot shown 11%
- In a purpose-built cell 20%
- In a structured facility 8%
- In any setting 1%
Anthropic's rating, not this site's estimate: Claude Opus 5, searching the web, rated each physical O*NET task by the kind of setting in which a robot it could cite (deployed, sold or demonstrated) does most of the task, weighted by its own estimate of each task's share of the time (What work can robots do?, September 30, 2026, data CC BY 4.0; every job ranked). A robot shown somewhere is not a robot in your building: cost, setup and safety decide that. The share within reach on this page still counts no body work. Weighted by the people in each occupation; each job's page names the robot behind each rated task.

How it is built: BLS counts the people in each job in this area; each job's tasks and their lengths give its share within reach at a date; the area's share is those shares weighted by people. Value is pay times 1.43 for benefits and payroll costs. Seen in Claude use splits today's share by whether Anthropic saw people bring each task to Claude in 2025; other AI tools are not counted.
