Passive income: YES

Industrial robotics maintenance and repair services have the potential to generate passive income, but achieving this level typically requires significant setup and ongoing systems. Initial setup costs can range from $5,000 to $20,000 for tools, equipment, training, and licensing. To make this hustle passive, one would need to invest in automation tools, scheduling software, and possibly hire additional technicians for repairs. While some individuals have successfully built a passive income stream in this field, it usually involves scaling the business to manage a high volume of clients and machines. However, this level of passive income may not be attainable for everyone, as it requires a solid client base, efficient processes, and continuous market demand. Misleading expectations often revolve around underestimating the initial investment and time required to establish a profitable and passive robotics maintenance business.
