minus-squareFaceDeer@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up16arrow-down3·6 days agoNever. There’s absolutely no need to use humanoid robots for that, other form factors would be much more efficient.
minus-squarebaldingpudenda@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·6 days agoI wanna say it was a dynamics robot that was awkwardly jogging because of an unbalanced load. Stopped. Got on all 4 and ran off WAY faster (50-60kph) up a rocky hill.they basically said going bipedal was really just to comfort the people around it.

The carbon based ones feel pain
I refuse to belive that
Never. There’s absolutely no need to use humanoid robots for that, other form factors would be much more efficient.
