Current obstacles

Cost versus conventional automationMust compete economically with assembly lines and wheeled robots.
Reliability in unstructured environmentsIndustrial shops vary in layout and clutter; must perceive and act reliably.

Physics limits

Walking costs more energy than rollingBipeds require constant adjustment to stay upright, consuming far more energy than wheels.
Balance is inherently unstableAny power loss means a fall; wheeled robots simply stop.

How it works
