    These robots might look simple; they’re just arms on wheels, but this technique is powerful. Robots don’t need to be super-complex humanoids to be useful. Arms on wheels could get a lot done if you could train them to work as easily as demonstrated here. People often wonder when robots will be developed enough to serve as “maids” in domestic settings - this is starting to look a lot like that.

      The biggest issue with arms on wheels is balance i think where a while of for a proper practical robot maid. The training system itself though, ai controlling rudimentary robots with a clear advanced goal and trying to overcome failures creatively rather then just succeeding will be massive and a lot of fun to watch develop.
