Wondering what practical chores these might be good for vs much more specialized robots (vacuums etc)... seems they would be a luxury for the rich.
I suppose they could be most useful in doing chores for the elderly, especially if they end up sturdy enough to help with transferring... 🤔
These seem like could be game changers in Amazon-like factories though.

I think people will prefer a single generic robot if it's good enough at specialized tasks - kind of like we prefer smartphones to having dozens of specialized devices (phone/camera/calculator/computer).

It definitely would. Manufacturing would boom.
