idk what kind of sci-fi cardboard they're working with, but here they're picking up boxes from a single side: ▶ this video
I find the introduction video [0] better shows what it does/can do. So... I guess inserters [1] are a thing, wonder how long until we get the tech for fast and stack inserters. Glad we skipped the burners, good strategy as it is such a mess to reconfigure. 0: ▶ this video 1: link
I believe. You can ask them what's their plan for a moment when their job position gets replaced by a robot or an AWS Lambda function: ▶ this video
Here's the video Boston Dynamics released, showing the robot in action: ▶ this video As far as I can see, boxes are picked up from one side, or the top. Some boxes would collapse due to this uneven distribution of force - a human worker would normally pick up a box from both sides, or the bottom.
