(OP)
Its a new type of nut. Do you think it will work on a moving mechanism like a robot?

A mechanical force and random vibrations are much more aggressive than a human thumb.

Since the Guy on YouTube didn't state what it's capable of, and you didn't state your loads no one can say if it will work for your application.

There are some quick-release items used on moving equipment.

> The device is being held essentially by friction, which has a limit threshold, considerably lower than the yield strength of bolt threads
> The device cannot provide compression force, which is often a requirement for bolting two things together
> The device is not readily scaleable and occupies a large volume, i.e., imagine doing that with a #2 screw.
> The form factor requires side access to the mechanism, which not always available, or even remotely desirable.

You can work out the acceleration need to disengage your latch. This will define the vibration your screw can handle. You still need to look at accelerations due to impact, such as someone dropping it.

Doesn't mean I am wrong all the time.
Maybe equipment that comes apart frequently such as food equipment. I worked for Swanson Foods while in college and a lot of equipment came apart to be cleaned every 2 hours, 4 hours, shift and / or daily. High pressure hoses, steam, boiling caustic, chlorine rinsing, etc. - they were serious about cleanliness. Just an idea.
Maybe also safety straps.
A lot of cutting tools get changed during breaks and a stuck nut can be horribly expensive. Same with break downs anywhere.
Maybe low pressure plumbing requiting frequent cleaning or setup changes.
I thought I saw threads on the bolt. If so then this is more than just a friction hold isn't it?
It would help if you showed some strength demos and gave some verifiable numbers.
