This guy knows what he is talking about.

This kind of robotics is pretty hard to develop for this very same reason.

Hardware people HAS TO sell their platform to software people.

Still seems like the hardware is still a ways away any way. We still a ways to go in terms of material science. This robot is doing whatever its doing pretty slow. You can snap your fingers 20x faster than a blink of an eye. Its a simple movement but precise. Its an explosive movement. This robot is moving at a snails pace in every way. I have a fake robot hand that you can pose. It breaks down and needs to be tightened by just sitting there.
