Why not be impressed? The reasons you gave are enough for the majority of people following along. The exciting parts are the steps along the way. Once we have something that is actually usable and integrated into our everyday lives, it will lose its novelty fast.

Because it's obviously useless and a regression from the kinds of robots we already have.

So that means we just stop innovating and not try to go beyond what we already have? This is not regression since this has no effect on the robots we already have, industrial robots are on their own innovation branch. These are prototypes, a glimpse into the future at what's possible with more experimentation and technological progression.

No. It means it's not impressive.

In all honesty I'd like to know, what is your idea of impressive and what is the direction you want robotics to go towards?
