Meaning? It seemed like half the innovation of the video, besides the flexible robotics, was the system they'd developed for detecting changes in the environment and adjusting behavior accordingly. That aside, I'm curious what makes movements so slow. Is it inherent to the hardware? Or are movements purposely slowed down to allow for repeated checks to the environment / positioning of the arms? There's a robot at UC Berkeley that is used to study interactions with cloth (do laundry): but it also has the same issue of needing a 50X speedup in the video to appear to do the task at a human speed.You can't have an efficient worker in your house that doesn't have the capacity for context.
