Looks very impressive but what is it supposed to do?

I imagine that these types will be able to do a lot of day to day manual labour and I can see how these can be adapted to doing stuff like household chores. The price is low enough to be consumer affordable already, and now it's mainly a matter of improving the software to make them more capable. Some practical uses are starting to show up already.
