An impractical use would be to have a few of them replace monitor arms in a multi monitor setup. You could then rapidly switch between a few configurations.

Also, have one to stir pasta in the kitchen.

At 1.4 Nm torque, the main motors would likely struggle manipulating a 0.5 kg item, they aren't strong enough to hold a monitor.

Multi monitor robot arm stands would do some cool things. An automated rotating sequence when you boot up would feel like a scifi movie.
