      The third line is literally describing it performing household tasks. Not factory work. You could’ve at least pretended to have read the article before making a smug mess in the comments.

        But I’m correct. What tasks are they? The dishes? Then it sits and does only that, as it can’t move. Pours drinks? Then that’s it, as it can’t move. Without moving, it’s just a literal appliance. I guess if on wheels it can be a multi usage appliance. Dishes. Then roll it to kitchen bench to make pancake batter. Then roll it to stove top to make pancakes. Then roll it to fridge to get ingredients for drinks. Then roll it to bar to make drinks.

        I stand by my initial assessment.

          You described it as both “stationary” and a “factory robot” and then describe how it can be moved and performs non-factory tasks. What the fuck were you expecting from something like this? The fucking Terminator or like C3PO or something? Yes, it’s a household appliance that can perform many complex(for a machine) household tasks on its own, just needing to be rolled into place and told to do them, if you can’t see how that would be useful to people, especially the elderly, then you’re an absolute fucking moron.

          But I know why you have a problem with this. If this was a “Tesla” robot, you’d be cumming in your pants at how “advanced” it is. We see you for what you are, you racist, western chauvinist piece of shit.

            I swear we get some of the dumbest comments from ppl outside of Lemmygrad. Every time I see one with negatives I know it’s just some idiot lib or fed poster type.
            Factory robots are pre programmed sets of movements that, if they get out of alignment, will just mess up and stop working properly. They don’t have much or any ability to analyze different tasks. They aren’t designed to be able to analyze different objects and move them accordingly on their own. Most don’t even have sensors and if they do is pretty basic shit to align two objects together for assembly. The fact you can move this around and have it do all sorts of tasks that this can analyze and do itself without further input makes it so far beyond a factory robot. You can’t even take an auto assembly arm from one part of the line and move it to another part of the line without reprogramming in the movement parameters.

            Hmm. Intelligent response. Thank you for your thoughtful judgement. Truly a joy debating pretty much nothing with you. All the very best. Your friend, Tesla loving, Western chauvinist piece of shit.
