    $6,500 for OpenArm v2. Incredibly smooth movement, 4kg of load per arm. Its unclear how far the level of autonomous control has come so far. The video shows mostly tele-operated operation. I have to agree with other comments here that folding laundry is the killer app.

    I hope someone teaches it to perform a highly sophisticated secret handshake.

    Crosses fingers for a general purpose laundry folding bot
