That's neat and all, but I used to work in restaurants, and even though they've sped up the video, that thing is about 1/4 the speed of a minimum wage dishwasher, and it takes up a relatively huge amount of space.
They've got a ways to go to make it practical.
The lease is $3000/month which even in an area where unskilled labor is really expensive I don't see how this would be practical because you'd probably need at least two to keep up with a human- and the human could sweep when it's not busy.
For robots to make sense for a task it probably needs to be something with fairly consistent and constant demand which is the opposite of dishwashing which will be in heavy demand a few hours a day and light or no demand the rest of the time.
