Very impressive demo! The laundry folding stood out to me in particular. I remember the NPR show Planet Money did a show many years ago about how difficult making a reliable laundry folding robot really is.

That's a pretty gen-eric name. Runway has the same problem.

The intricate and what looks like soft handling of closing the boxes, using the 2nd finger gently, as well as turning the washer to fit in the slot stood out to me. Though I was curious about fitting the belt into the square slot. Did it have a map of where the belt was supposed to go? Or was it able to figure out itself that it would bend to fit in that slot?

Hopefully they can add legs to it soon, we're gonna need the hunter killer robots to be highly mobile to put down the revolt when all the people with capital of less than a billion USD are put out of work.

Pfff, this is nothing. The $20,000 Neo folds clothes much slower and comes with free remote operators.
