I'm disappointed that it's remotely driven by a human.

From the article:

> As a first step, the team teleoperated the robot to teach it the path around the warehouse — meaning it’s equipped with autonomy to move around, without the team needing to navigate it remotely.

Humans just have to set waypoints. It's no roomba though.
