An impractical use would be to have a few of them replace monitor arms in a multi monitor setup. You could then rapidly switch between a few configurations. Also, have one to stir pasta in the kitchen.
Pasta is one of the few things you’re not supposed to stir while cooking?

The geek in me is drooling, but are there any practical home uses others have found for robotic arms? Hacking is always more fun with a good project

Nice. What do you use it for?
Reproducible test scenarios for barcode scanning with a smartphone.

That's it, isn't it. The question is not, how far away from that are we , but when can you and I actually afford it? Because, as the other commenter snarkily replies, human maids already exist. The lifestyle of the singularity is already here for the rich. It's trickling down that kind of lifestyle to the rest of us that AI robots will enable. (with some amount of social upheaval.) Lets say the robot that can do that…
I think even more difficult than making it affordable will be making it reliable . OK-Robot says it has has a 1/3 failure rate, and takes ~20x as long as a human, at which point you might as well do the task yourself. I'd want the error rate and speed improved by an order of magnitude before I'd consider it anything other than a fun novelty.

Unless it has to do something with the print quality itself, can't this be achieved using a stationary phone with its camera towards a monitor displaying 3D transformed barcode images ?
