That's what a society moving towards automation looks like. Robots and computers don't get sick, they don't need food and bathroom breaks, they don't need to leave for their kids, they don't need sleep and they can work 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
Minimum wage has very little to do with it. Whenever the benefits exceed the costs they'll pull the trigger. Could a higher wage speed up the change? Yes. Is the change coming either way? Yes.
