Yep. Interestingly, there has been a lot of recent work on models like RT-2 that might be capable of automating this for simple tasks. We might be at the point soon where that startup would have been viable!

AFAIK RT-2 doesn’t quite work outside of Googles micro-kitchen, where they collected about a 1000 hours of data.

That's how prototype tech often work : not very well. But its a proof of concept. A general model is probably not terribly far off.
