> Why not be impressed?

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?
