Looks cool.

Can you be up front about its real capabilities. Are these videos of it eg tidying up real or just staged / cherry picked?

If you let it loose in a messy room or stirring something in a kitchen, what are the genuine results you would expect in the wild?

We’re all used to seeing things like Atlas back flipping but then can’t do anything in a real environment. Just curious how this fits in and what the success / fail rate is.

That video of it folding clothes would seem to hint at that. It's only able to awkwardly throw it into a pile, but they still included it. It's clearly a very cool project, but it suggests the claimed capabilities are more show than substance.
