Should put dicks like this out of business too. Win win.

Dunno. They seem to have nailed the stabisation on all the robots. Shouldn't be hard to combine them so the wheels lock and it goes in to walk mode or something.

As with any new tech they size will come down and noise should be easily dealt with once it starts becoming commercially viable.

Mans greatest invention the wheel has been harnessed by robots!

- the human resistance started with the skater kids.

I think it's cool.

Yeah I remember they did a military trial with the mule robot. I think the marines said it was just too noisy but I can see it used elsewhere. Exciting times.

They do some really crazy stuff there. Must be a very cool place to work and have some pretty smart people there.

Amazon must be wetting themselves looking at the speed of that thing. Just what they need.

I see in the background they've got that other robot that they showed picking stuff up and stabilizing it's self when kicked and pushed. I can't find it now but Ozzy Man did a great review of that video
