Can you be up front about its real capabilities. Are these videos of it eg tidying up real or just staged / cherry picked?
If you let it loose in a messy room or stirring something in a kitchen, what are the genuine results you would expect in the wild?
We’re all used to seeing things like Atlas back flipping but then can’t do anything in a real environment. Just curious how this fits in and what the success / fail rate is.
That video of it folding clothes would seem to hint at that. It's only able to awkwardly throw it into a pile, but they still included it. It's clearly a very cool project, but it suggests the claimed capabilities are more show than substance.
I mean, none of the videos show it completing a task successfully as I see it!
1. Doesn't look like it's stirring well enough to prevent burning
2. Seems to just be picking up vertical cans and grabs the napkin unintentially, never see it pick up any of the more interesting shapes/orientations.
3. Doesn't shut the fridge door
4. Teleports to things in it's hand, never see it actually place something in the rack.
5. Not a fold in site, vague wafting of a shirt around
6. Poured a few grains of cereal, not sure it can tell if it's poured the right amount of anything. Doesn't look like a useful result there.
Honestly, it could probably close the fridge. Why they can't show it completing a task in any of their examples is probably not a good sign for the skills situation. It's clear the goal is crowdsourcing the software and providing a platform with no idea whether it can actually do any of these tasks reliably to be useful.
This was exactly as I was thinking tbh. And the radio silence from them on any reply I think makes this more likely. I don’t want to be a dick if someone’s making something cool, but just be honest about it.
