While this is a real mobile robot, this does not really address my concerns: 1) It is not navigating in a open environment, rather a constrained workspace just like other manipulation demos. 2) They're not using any visual information for task planning and reasoning, rather doing low level control for locomotion.

Of course, I cannot emphasize enough that this is a good research paper! We're just really really far away mobile robots trained end-to-end with RL for doing any kind of tasks in open environments. And that's fine. It means more cool research to do for me.

They are going commercial soon, so we shall see how well they stand up to different open world environments.
