They're incredibly finicky at the moment and have worse dexterity than a human in oven mitts, but they're still capable of doing these tasks.

How long till one of these leaves the research lab and starts doing real work? I'll give an actual prediction and say 2025 for extremely limited cases with market saturation comparable to spot robotic dogs, and before 2030 for mass saturation.

This demo is remote operated and just shows the hardware, but the hardware sure  is coming fast.

Still to expensive for mainstream. But they will be at some point.
