I assume this is a real bot and not a human remote-controlled one like the Tesla bots lol

I think this would be a good way to solve the aging population problem plaguing all developed countries: As people's income increases, they tend to have less children, which leads to more seniors per younger person.
A big issue with a increasing senior population is that you need more young people to take care of them, which means less young people that are working in other industries.
Western countries' solution is to import immigrants, but as we've seen, that brings in its own set of problems.
Hopefully these robots can lessen the burden of taking care of seniors.

afaik that's the goal; that's also why Chinese factories are being heavily robotized as well

Soon they're gonna be indispensable for elderly and those with other LTC needs. It's such a growing concern around the world right now and it's only gonna get more pressing as birth rates plummet due to people not wanting to birth kids into this terrible world anymore. Hospitals and other care centres are in constant staff shortage especially for labour intensive roles. Robotic aids are gonna become the norm one way or another.

Easy to open a sealed bag of chips but can it close the bag and then reopen it again next day without ripping it again?
I'll let others test this for me before I let it break my glass cups 😂

million time better than whatever uncanny valley horror the Norwegian-US Company 1x's NEO tried to do
as it look appropriately utilitarian instead of creepy like a walking corpse
