When watching the video the first thing I noticed was how perfectly stacked and uniform in size and shape the boxes were. It hinted at being able to lift a specific non-box object (spot mini) but I feel it wasn't a realistic representation of actual cargo loads.
Also, unloading is only part of the problem. Loading is more like a game of tetris. Only you have to make sure the packages don't crush one another, topple over, and use the space efficiently. Keeping in mind that some packages are heavier/lighter/bigger/smaller than others or oddly shaped (think tires, weights, chair etc.).

Completely unrealistic since all boxes were empty [0], and there's a cut when it lifts the only heavy object, which also is done at much lower speed. It's a demo, although still very impressive. I hope one day to see BD selling robots in kits. [0] Easy to infer from how they move when picked up or fall on the conveyor belt; also well loaded boxes would easily break or at least strain if picked up by one side.
