Great, but that robot isn't doing an actual task?

I sort of struggle to see how getting good positioning accuracy from a high backlash system under zero load can have a useful application.

Maybe just lack of imagination on my part.

There is this trend that says make and buy bad hardware, the software will solve it. I haven't noticed that paying off. Tesla using webcams for self driving is an example. Boeing designing their planes and then using faulty attitude sensors is another.

I would be way more impressed if the robot did something useful. My suspicion is that its real world application capabilities are rather limited.
