This is neat research. Probably not very practical or useful in it's current form, yet, you have to engage in highly speculative research and even consider the ridiculous to discover new ideas.
This version is unlikely to be able to compete in almost any metric with robot arms or even far simpler purpose-built machines (think simple 1 DOF automation used in manufacturing assembly lines, like bottling plants). With time interesting and unique applications of some future version of this might find a problem it can solve elegantly.
