Interesting idea.
I doubt it would happen, and here's why.
Just a little personal anecdote. I was living in shared housing whilst in uni. I rent a bedroom, share facilities. We each buy our own food. There was, no kidding, 8 bottles of exactly the same milk in the fridge, 8 cartons of margerine, 8 loaves of bread. I moved into a house with some friends.
There's now 2 people in this house, with 2 bottles of the same milk, 2 cartons of the same margerine, 2 loaves of the same bread.
No-one trusts each other enough to co-operate. If a company has an idea to change it's robot, it won't share it to benefit everyone, it'll slap 50 patents on it. You won't get to Google's level by sharing. As much as it would benefit everyone, it just wouldn't happen.
