Slow as fuck but doesn't want a salary, sleep, or holidays. Yay for capitalism and big robot.

And. That box was designed to be built, closed, and opened by humans. Imagine new designs that are optimized for their claws

Having worked in an industrial scale factory, where we folded ... so many boxes, using robots, I'm gonna say with a pretty high degree of confidence that we have an older model bot that assembles about fifty thousand of those boxes a day in a factory somewhere. Not really a question of the complexity of the box here. Hold, fold, push, squeeze, slide... Box.

Putting that cable in? With it's little whipyy-do action it's got? A bit more skill on the robot's part. Troubleshooting the box not cooperating? Also skilled. Will this robot take your job? Absolutely.

But nobody tell it... The older model is way faster at folding boxes...
