The only robot that comes close in stacking speed (single robot) is Red Crusade (4613, a rookie!) and they use a lot of automation to get their stacking speed.
I would imagine that once the Driver gets the totes into the wheels/pinchers (it looks like a crab ) and thus into the robot body the rest is automated. You are right, it is too fluid, consistent, and accurate to be the driver alone.
