NGL - I kinda want to run around on an AI robot panther. Can we get 4 more, paint them different colors, and merge them into a giant robot? That would be sweet!

    Bet it sucks to ride tbh. I cannot imagine that being more comfortable than a motorcycle of any kind. There has to be better ways for rough terrain than reinventing the wheel. Bet the investors love it though so I suppose mission accomplished.

      Why not? Our legs are already better than any wheel could ever get. Why not apply this to robots given they can be good enough

        Because ambulation and passenger transportation aren’t the same thing otherwise the wings on planes would flap like a birds. As a passenger you’re gong to be very aware of the movements and it’s going to feel like shit.

          If airplane wings could flap they absolutely would. Our biological equivalent is objectively better than any mechanical tech we have right now. It’s really hard to beat millions of years of evolution.

          You can very easily smooth out passenger’s position same way a horse’s head feels comfortable on top of a horse.
