The robot was pure BS. You can tell they haven't done anything or even thought much about it, there was just the slide and he didn't even know what to say about it during the presentation just "look, robot"

It is clearly a future product idea simply designed to inspire robotics experts to join the company. Not many other places (eg, Boston Dynamics) have access to custom designed ML hardware. So they are saying: if you want to build the robots of the future, this is the company to join.

I don't understand how that's "BS"? They're not marketing this to consumers.

It's a recruiting event. The same way they announced a 25k EV in China to recruit designers there. It doesn't mean it won't happen, but it's also a tactic.
