I feel the costs will be tremendous.
As we are seeing in many industries, a productivity gap is widening between businesses that are taking the plunge and those that are not. I can't predict the future, but the businesses that are succeeding right now are the ones bringing robotics into their factories. Automated meat portioners can produce 280-gram steaks at breakneck speed. Butchers certainly can't compete with those businesses.
Moreover, if you want to create well-paying jobs, you have to go for the technology. Things are moving fast in this area right now. I don't see who could adequately support factories in this, but they must be supported if they are to take that leap.
