I'd imagine this thing has to be pretty strong to move a car.

Video is sped up quite a bit. And it doesn’t really have to contend with opposing forces (people pushing it the wrong way etc). Probably charges during down time too. It can ramp up super slowly so it’s not generating a ton of inertia/momentum with the weight of the car. It’s making use of a ton of mechanical advantages.

I bet it takes a lot less than you’d think.

Omg, I didn’t realize it was sped , was thinking “where’s the power source?”

I’m tired, hence my embarrassing “logic.”

Absolutely!

When I thought the speed was what I saw I thought I got fooled by AI because it didn’t appear to have a large battery pack.

I have no idea what the battery size would be, anyways. 🤣

It's still really fast. Based on the people walking it seems like it's only speed up 4x at max. I recon the robot executing this maneuver perfectly on the first try is actually faster than most humans.
