It gives off some strong "faceless worker trapped in a box doing repetitive menial work" vibes. I get the whole 'humans can do so many different things, so make a human-shaped robot to do all those things' idea, hence Boston Dynamics' Atlas, but humans do all those things at a kinda mediocre speed. Developing general control systems for 6+ axis arms and picking the correct number and size of arms for whatever strength/speed you need seems far more useful. Yeah, you can pick up your one-size-fits-all gimpbot and put him in the cage to put different cells into different boxes, but the hard part IMHO is the control software/training, not the hardware.
