I'm confused, is this a research device, hobby/tinker item, or consumer product?

I don't mean to be negative, but making a sustainable business on a hardware race to the bottom sounds challenging.

I'd be curious to to know from others here, what in-home tasks do people think they'll really be able to automate with any of the various bimanual or humanoid robot platforms that seem to be going around?

Nothing, none of these are good enough to do any home tasks reliably. These are all research/hobbyist devices that won't be interesting for another 5-10 years. Probably a bunch of fun to play around with though.
