Why does it need four legs??? Why centaur??? Can we not???

[-] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 20 points 17 hours ago

Two-legged walk cycles are very complicated and unstable.

Wheels work great for indoor spaces, roads, tracks etc.

[-] FaceDeer@fedia.io 2 points 14 hours ago

Well, this isn't limited to indoor spaces, then.

[-] M137@lemmy.today 2 points 13 hours ago

Because it needs to be able to run after you no matter the terrain.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 1 points 5 hours ago

It's meant for forestry work (good luck dodging an unexpectedly falling tree fast enough if the chainsaw hands get stuck or a branch pierces the pneumatics: bye bye expensive robot). Yes, it's so scary I just casually mentioned CHAINSAW HANDS.

Yes, that's the best of both worlds. Terrain capability and speed. As-is, it won't climb near-vertical walls like a goat anyway.

You didn't ask, but the horns are so it can't fit through the door (and kill you)

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

Actually, according to the website the horns are cameras providing a wider view so it is more capable of doing its job. Very functionally necessary. 😁

It clearly doesn't understand how to open a door, so it's all good (right now).

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 3 points 14 hours ago

It doesn’t know how to duck?

[-] M137@lemmy.today 7 points 13 hours ago

Of course it doesn't know how to duck. It's a centaur, not a duck.

[-] Untamed_Star@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 13 hours ago

No no, you don't undestand, it's just to slow it down.
