I know it has tactile sensors on its fingers but if it tried to press the button and missed how would it know? I know it's probably not by sound.

I’m sure the sensor signals look different when you press a button vs when you hit a wall. Enough that it could certainly be learned by a model

Why not? It has microphones.

I assume that with whatever onboard audio model they use, it can only handle conversational type audio.
