Is this really a problem that require robotics? I feel like a good nose rinse would suffice, but maybe there are extreme cases.

Nasal rinsing does a pretty good job at clearing up rhinitis but unfortunately it doesn't always get to the deeper part of the sinuses. People who suffer from chronic sinusitis don't always get the same degree of relief from just a nasal wash so this would be helpful in those cases.

Thanks for the explanation, TIL.

Honestly I thought this seemed a little dumb but I think about the nuissance of nose rinsing and I think you sold me on it.

Do they really count as robots if they require external forces to move and release their payload?

Cool technology nonetheless.
