You piqued my interest and I'm less lazy.

This seems to be the sales pitch for an unautomated version that seems to give a good feel for what's going on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBPiszqZnz4

This looks to be one of the more automated versions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5D4F3Vo4nzM

And this one of the more manual processes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqLALzUft8Y




So it's less like robots doing stuff autonomously and more like larger specialized power tools that can allow 1-2 people to run a process that used to require 3-4 people.


Mmm - it's a continuum. This one looks like it's entirely telepresence - the only part that may be missing is the software to make it fully automatic, and perhaps some of the sensors depending on where they've hidden the control station (e.g. is some of it line-of-sight control):

Thank you MM for picking up the slack :). I was merely venting on a pet peeve of mine.

Very informative videos.
