Impressive! But the "up to 90% success rate" scares me. I know how much extra housework a "helpful" three year old human creates!
I imagine its a net negative on menial tasks even before maintainence and downtime. But still amazing, and apparently FOSS.
just 50 years ago most surgeries had nowhere near that success rate π
