I don't think it is being over-hyped.
Look at what it is. Two Stanford students (plus an advisor) have
cobbled some kit together to make a robot for a fraction of the cost
of big company robots. They have created teleoperated training,
for a fraction of the cost of training commercial robots.
And the training is far quicker than large database training methods.
And finally, this experimental lash-up actually works!

This is the trial proof-of-concept version.
Everything from now on is optimisation and getting it into production.

The dream of a sex robot that also cooks dinner is just over the horizon!  ;)
