There's something absolutely hilarious to me that their marketing is so strongly emphasizing its Kama Sutra abilities, including a hard pelvic thrust at the end of the marketing materials, when you know, people would like it to mow lawns and fold laundry.


If only you knew how bad things really are.


What I found hilarious is in the Dexterous Hands video, the robot deftly places a walnut on the table, then proceeds to smash it with its bare fist.


Those walnuts look suspiciously as they were already weakened. There's a way to open walnuts without breaking them by gently inserting a knife with round tip in the weak point where the two shells join on the upper side then rotating it, and it looks like they used the trick to weaken at least a couple walnuts in that bowl.


They do look suspicious, but I've crushed walnuts that actually are that weak (and really light). I think it is a combination of storing conditions and variety.


As Data would say, it is fully functional.
