depends.
if they can actually use the robot to replace human labor, AND it's cheap,
I can see how this would make more $$$ for the company in the long run.
plus, it's a collaboration between GM & Nasa.
no mention of amount of money funded.
no mention of how much of that money was funded from Nasa or GM.
also, results of the research could benefit Nasa as well.
If anything, Toyota's robot has nothing at all to do with automobiles.
The Asimov's technology are also irrelevant to Honda's products.
(unless they plan to build something like a robo-chauffeur/chaperone)
Unless it's some outrageous amount coming from GM, they've done worse.
(such as past super-bowl ads)

Yes, I'd imagine this would be used for commercial tasks.
The Honda/Toyota bots are more suited for house-hold, or admin (at best) chores.
