That's actually really kinda cool...yet completely pointless. I mean what would you actually use this for in day to day life? Even if you have something like a bakery I couldn't see much use out of it.
"Now my question is this: why aren't these amazing motor skills being put to use for something more significant like enabling people to walk again, or giving them amazing prosthetic limbs??"
You sentiments while admirable, are misplaced.
That's like asking why car manufacturers don't make wheelchairs that go from 0-60 km/h in 4 seconds with fine traction control and automated gear shifts.
The question to ask is, as Riku3008 stated, how does it work?

Think of a robot handling glue or paint in a factory. This could save a lot of wasted product that can't be picked up or be used to finely remove excess.
As someone who works with viscous liquid suspensions on a regular basis in lab, I can see this kind of technology being extremely useful for a number of research purposes.
Yeah, this tech could be really useful for cleanup work not just specifically related to bakeries. If it worked with any dangerous chemicals, it could help a lot in cleanup duties. It could effectively speed up the cleanup work of the teams.
Let's rejoice. All vacuum cleaners will soon be replaced by awesome robotic arms that can pick up even the smallest dust in any corner of the house.
And you should not worry that much about this kind of "mundane" use of robotic skills. They are also put to good use : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8VhW9JIwUk&feature=player_embedded
