I think you underestimate good engineering. The Festo Smartbird is a good counter example (https://www.festo.com/group/en/cms/10238.htm https://www.festo.com/group/en/cms/10238.htm). I'll agree that we still have a way to go with bipedal robots, but other biomemetric robots (Boston Dynamics) are very impressive these days.
- louithethrid 9y agoYes, it can fly very well- but can it fly in place, take off vertically, can it fold its wings - or start from water. Good engineering is polishing one finite set of movements to a mirror shine here. Artificial muscles would allow for controll, that allows for all this movements to be realized, without hitting the limitations of the admittetly very well working bionics shown .
