Mwell, the robot picking out the "laundry" from a basket next to the table is slightly more than I've seen before so at least they managed to combine two tasks that would previously be considered distinct (although note the very lengthy attempt to pick a corner of a green shirt in the "3x video" further down the article, which I think is the most honest of the bunch).
I agree this is still a tech demo showing a prototype robot solving a toy task. As usual we're supposed to think "if it can do that then it should be able to do this" but it never works that way in reality.
