Some Marketing-Types can pretend a robot can do more than it really can do

Let me note that the robot shown here doesn't have any real learning capabilities. IBM, on the
other hand (OTOH) is deploying real artificial intelligence in that its machines can actually learn
things. If you watch this video carefully, you will note that is being manufactured by a small
company which cannot afford to create the software to drive it in a wide selection of real world
jobs. They state in the video that they hope that a large number of universities will write the
software needed.
Robot is shown doing a single repetitive job (not impressive because robots have been doing that
for many years). The robots are synced with each other and that is a good thing.
It is quite likely that you will never see this robot again because it is like inventing a new kind of
DVD player that only needs someone to create films specifically for it.
If this robot had the kind of smarts as IBM's Watson, it would have to burn a lot more power than
1500 watts.
We shall have to wait a few years before such a robot can be told to do a job using the English
language like a human can. I figure 2020-2025.
After that occurs, it is all over for human labor jobs.
