Those videos are very impressive. This is real progress on tasks at which robotics have been failing for fifty years.

Here are some of the same tasks being attempted as part of the DARPA ARM program in 2012.[1] Compare key-in-lock and door opening with the 2025 videos linked above. Huge improvement.

We just might be over the hump on manipulation.
