Someone Taught Robots How To Use Elevators, And We're Now More Doomed Than Ever

As dangerous as robots may be, they can't go upstairs for shit and scientists have worked for years trying to find a solution. Finally, someone just taught a robot how to use an elevator, and now the playing field is presumably even and the robot uprising should be starting any day now.
Take a look at this major advancement in robot achievement below:
This video shows ongoing research towards using the feet of a legged robot for simple manipulation tasks. In this example, ANYmal makes use of its large range of motion to reach up to press an elevator button. The button is localized with help of a QR tag.
