Robot picks up clothes -> this is stupid
Robot picks up kids toys -> this is brilliant
In reality though, I think the cables will never work in a household situation. It's a interesting concept and I'm sure it was fun to build :) Makes me wonder what commercial application this would work for, I'm sure there's something out there that would benefit from this over waiting on humanoid tech
I guess in most industrial use cases it makes more sense to have a robot stationary and move the parts around with conveyors. Doing it that way allows to pipeline and parallelize the manufacturing process. In contrast the large operating volume covered by cable robot needs to be served by single robot exclusively.

Australia's $900-million-a-year greenhouse tomato industry currently relies on farmers pollinating by hand
“So we've managed to design a robot that pollinates greenhouse tomatoes.”
“It autonomously drives along the rows, finds flowers that are ready for pollination using artificial intelligence, and sends air pulses to vibrate the flowers in a very specific manner to imitate buzz pollination as performed by bumblebees.”
2 sides closer to the side of the couch would go lower than the other sides to reach the area?
Two people have mentioned garden applications, so maybe back yard and outside applications are where the creator needs to explore.
Though, I agree that my spouse would rather burn the house down than set this up in the living room where cables would be "ugly" and not match with our decor.
I wonder how it would handle something like a blanket or pillow on top of the toys
Robot can't open ikea drawers -> this is not gonna work
