Well, you can. They are all over Alibaba.
However, most are just an arm, and you have to program each individual movement as if the robot had no awareness of where anything was. And the user interface leaves everything to the imagination.
But they already have mobile dust busters, like robotic vacuums that runs around on wheels picking up dirt.
I thought you were suggesting something like this, LINK
You can buy a 3d printer and then "manufacture" orders for your local market.
Materials and processes of 3D printers have come a long way.
They used to be called rapid prototyping because that was all they were really good for.
What i was referring to in this reply, are robotic arms that you often see welding cars together.
They do repetitive tasks where the job is exactly the same each time.
We have very poor robot software, and even poorer robot vision.
So, we usually make the world correspond to the robot.
As for example, resistors come on a paper tape much like we used for dot matrix printers. Not as a jumble of parts in a bin.
