This resolves positive when a credible public video shows a robot autonomously assembling a standard flat-pack furniture item (e.g., an IKEA bookshelf with at least 20 parts) from printed instructions, without human physical intervention during assembly. Academic demos, company demos, and competition entries all count; simulation does not.
