The main problem with humanoid robots has always been balancing, and battery capacity.why not just attach the top part humans like looking at, and the ability to use hands, and put it on a more stable platform that can carry more weight in batteries?
>>107004315might as well make a bunch of arms and cameras on tracks, tank robots for the win
>>107004420the thing is, quadrupedal legs actually do solve something tracks and wheels struggle with that are common in human locations.stairs.but the value of having bipedalism vs quadrupedal movement is just a minor decrease to footprint.In places you're building for automation your most optimal multipurpose bot would be a tank or car with a bunch of arms and a forklift on it.
then they can't sit in a aircraft pilot seat.
>>107004449fair point on stairs>>107004460aircrafts can be bots themselves
>>107004495>climbs inside like a large dog could>moves torso 120 degrees and bends forwards because it doesn't have a human spine
>>107004495>>107004517or a regular quadruped with the torso replaced with longer manipulation arms could do the same, since the torso is mostly just so it doesn't look uncanny to humanity.
>>107004315Make spiderbots with hands on all legs. Then if needed they can walk on 4 legs and use the other 4 to grab things.
>>107004315No torso needed either
>>107004315no horse pussy no buy
looks inefficient
>>107005765just go full crab
What about fleshlights as feet, like 3 birds with one stone and for the milenials can do 4 at a time just like in their nintendo 64 games.
>>107004643Or make array of arm bots, that can move on their own and combine into any configuration, humanoid, wheel, dog.
>>107004449stairs are not a problem for robots, theyre a problem for humans because they allow you to quickly solve an inconvenience.bots can simply use lifts, or never go upstairs (why would they need to go up) you have one on each floor, they can wave to eachother.
>>107004460everything about a plane is already digitally controllable
>>107004473The appeal of humanoid robots is that you can mass produce them and replace a human directly with them. They have way more points of failiure and require more materials to build then industrial robots, but they are cheaper because of economies of scale. In the future it will be cheaper to get humanoid robot to pilot an old jet then it is to rebuild the whole jet with autopilot in them.
>>107004315Might as well put wheels on it.
>>107007109Wheelchair humanoid robots
>>107004315I think it could spin the troso 180 deg and use the horse back as a tray cart, so it could go full butler. I think would be nice.Alternatively, if bipedalism is too important, could have the legs splitinto four when need more stability and fold into each other to bipedalism when it's needed, but this would remove the horse back.
