Is it really a robot or just remote controlled arms as there was that guy in the background making the same movements as the arms.

From the article that I link to:
“Blue’s kinematic design is anthropomorphic, meaning that its arms move in the same way that yours do. The idea is that it’ll be easy(ish) for people to teleoperate Blue to remotely perform household tasks, while your AI algorithm gradually figures out how to do similar tasks by itself.”
