alt Hacker NewsIt's an interesting concept. If you scroll through the page you'll see it's actually pretty strong. The blanket pick up video should actually be the first video.
My fear is that a company that has the money to build and manufacture this will rip off the idea and use their resources to polish the concept. With a lot polish, this type of thing can be useful in certain environments.

So, you fear someone else making it "useful in certain environments?"

Not necessarily fear. More so, an organization with more resources could take the concept further.
By certain environments, I meant it would seem more useful in industrial or controlled environments where automation is more pratical.
I wasn't familiar with cable robots like this, so it seemed cool.
Cable robots have existed for decades this is not a new concept. Anyone who wanted to rip it off could have done it long time ago.
