Even now, it looks pretty impressive. I wonder, whether I can see it in action in India anytime soon.
your right
i did not notice this until you just mentioned it Anil
the 1982 Robot only returned to base after each ply
that is..it would pick up a piece and then place it...then return to base
even captures or castling would only require a return to base after the full move is completed
the new robot is returning to base after picking up a piece and before placing it
Castling must require something like 4 returns to base

ps..on the flip side..the new Robot seems to move much quicker then the older one
