Looks like they posted this video a few days ago: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uJOA5IDaL5g

Video seems focused on moving boxes. Perhaps that’s the entry point for them in the market.

This said, they also show the robot moving what look like very dexterous fingers.

I am not familiar with the space, but is moving boxes from A to B even a real pain point for many businesses such that they’d get an ROI by buying something like this just for that sole purpose? It just seems like one of a hundred specialized location and company specific tasks an average warehouse worker needs to do, and they need to show robots doing something a little more specialized or compelling to make this anything other than lame video demo hype. What is their beach head market? Any insight appreciated!
