This is starting to feel like Manna, the Marshall Brain novel: https://marshallbrain.com/manna1

> Depending on how you want to think about it, it was funny or inevitable or symbolic that the robotic takeover did not start at MIT, NASA, Microsoft or Ford. It started at a Burger-G restaurant in Cary, NC on May 17. It seemed like such a simple thing at the time, but May 17 marked a pivotal moment in human history.

FYI it's a free novel and worth a quick read.

I started reading it. It’s very interesting that the author thought computer vision would be the hardest part about robotics.

> Without vision, robots could not move around or manipulate objects. All of the other hardware was there. Legs and balance systems to allow bipedal motion had been in place for decades. Robotic fingers and hands with very fine motor control were easy to create. AI software to set goals and make decisions was getting more powerful every day. Everything was there but the vision system.

It turns out that dexterity has been much harder than vision.
