Nah, it’s good to have diversity in tech development. Just because it isn’t the path that I personally would have chosen doesn’t mean that it’s a bad idea. Tech is an iterative process. Yes, even tech that is gimmicky.

I’ve watched videos on them. I stand by my original statement.

FFS, design standards exist for a reason. Quit trying to reinvent the wheel, or car doors as it is here.

Climate change will not be kind to the region. Israel knows that it is in deep shit and is acting out. Ironically, its military aggression is only hastening this.

Stairs are an easy problem for tracked robots. But yeah, they aren’t going to be jumping any time soon.

Tracks are the “wheels” solution to bad terrain, which also includes soft surfaces (e.g. snow, mud). Even an excavator can climb ~35 degrees, and a lighter less top-heavy tracked vehicle should be able to do a bit better. Compared to legs, tracked vehicles are faster, more efficient, and more durable.
Goats are exceptional climbers, but animals use legs as part of a full-body motion. Slapping legs onto a box isn’t the same as putting legs on a torso that also bends, twists, and flexes.
I mean I guess it’s part of the iterative process of improving quadruped robots, but at this stage of development it still seems gimmicky.

Quadrupedal motion is pervasive in nature because wheels (and tank treads for bad terrain) can’t readily form via natural processes: en.wikipedia.org/…/Rotating_locomotion_in_living_…

pick photos and determine what they’re into.
Why not do things the old fashioned way and just ask? Almost like a survey or something.

Why quadruped instead of wheels? Just seems gimmicky to me.
Legs have some advantages over wheels, but unless these can climb or jump it seems to be the lesser choice. If it can climb or jump, then I’ll stfu.

Boycotts only work in competitive markets where there is real differentiation between the choices.

I no longer get excited about new tech. For the most part, I feel like we peaked about 10 years ago. Medical advances are the outlier and represent real benefit, but consumer electronics are getting enshittified.

Tracking/privacy and ads are related, but separate issues. Cars might track where you are going, but they aren’t showing ads (yet).

Getting outdated ads crammed down your throat for companies or products that no longer exist is a special kind of trolling.
