Take any of these videos with a grain of salt.

In demos these robots only need to do well once and it can take hours to record.

In real life, a failure rate of 80% is unnacceptable, but perfectly fine to edit out in the final cut media.

I hope they do well, this area is incredibly hard, but it will take a lot more than what people imagine.

I just want the consumer grade robot dog so I can program it to chase the roomba around.
This whole hype cycle man. It's all shiny demos and no real products.
