I saw the video and it can move the boxed out, but, can it grab boxes from the conveyor and pile them inside the container?

  How useful is this when e.g. opening the boxes takes 10x the amount of time? Wouldn't it make more sense to first put robots where the bottleneck is?

    Receiving is a serious bottleneck. The perimeter of a building is limited, with the number of docks growing as the square root of the floorspace. All else being equal, your I/O scales worse than your interior production capacity. This is one of the limits on the maximum size of a facility. Speeding up I/O flow is really good because you can’t parallelize it as much as other work. This robot is not super fast, but (assuming it works well) it is relentless. They'll get faster and better.

      Good points!
