Some users have expressed skepticism about the robot’s abilities, with one user stating:
Of all the tasks I do, folding clothes takes a ridiculously small slice of my time. Is this and all the other robotics videos aimed at H&M staff?
Others have coined new terms to describe the robot’s performance, such as
Coining the term: Slopfold When you Robot folds your clothes but it’s kinda wrinkly and sloppy but you accept it anyway because it’s easier than precisely folded and pressed clothes.
Some have also questioned the video’s authenticity, noting that
The video cuts to a new shot every couple of second instead of one continuous shot like all robotics research. This makes it hard to trust it. The robot probably failed a million team and they stitched the video from 100 experiments.
Despite these concerns, many users are excited about the robot’s potential, with one user suggesting that
Watching the two-handed robot has me thinking that a third hand, perhaps with a different set of capabilities (like a tentacle grip) might make many tasks easier.
Another user noted that the robot’s use of only 10B parameters is a promising sign for the future, and that the training process must have been
fun but tedious
