“In the second video of the article the first box picked is crushed by the chopsticks.”

Addressed a bit farther into the article, which I was thankful for because I had the same initial reaction:

“ You may have noticed that the boxes in the videos are pretty beat up. That’s because the robot has been practicing with those boxes for months, but Dextrous is mindful of the fact that care is necessary, says Drumwright. ‘One of the things that we were worried about from the very beginning was, how do we do this in a gentle way? But our newest version of the robot has the sensitivity to be very gentle with the boxes.’”



i was more confused by the tiny box not fitting on the conveyor. Lots of smart choices to choose from besides from cutting the recording???
