But in the short to medium term, there are much more reliable, efficient, and cost-effective platforms that can take over in these situations: robots with arms, but with wheels instead of legs.
I never understood why the first generation of robots can’t just be on wheels. Even if it needs to go up and down stairs often, it’s still easier to have legs just for stairs and resort to wheels all other times.
The article also thinks battery life is an issue. IMO too many things have batteries, why can’t it just rely on a power cord. Sure that won’t work in some situations, but damn it it can fold my laundry.

Anyone who's a fan of mecha anime or games already knew this. The human body is a comedy of errors masquerading as a marvel of bioengineering. We're just fish who forgot how to swim and learned how about economics.

I’ve figured out the swimming again, but I still don’t fully understand economics…

No one does and if they say they do they’re lying
