- GlenTheMachine 8y agoSure. There are niche use cases. But I still can't see a profitable business cse.
- lallysingh 8y agoThe big ones are in warehouses and taking care of the elderly, I figure. Maybe in-building package delivery, too. But really, the 4-leggers are loss leaders to pay for the 2 leggers. Compatible with human physical interfaces like doors, trunks. stairs, etc.

- r00fus 8y agoYes, I really want Spot Mini to be self-powering. Next up: replication.
- murukesh_s 8y agoEven though scary, I think sometime we might head towards that. Spot Mini enabled to operate 3D printers and assemble parts. Damn!

- nickwalton00 8y agoDo you want a robot apocalypse? Because this is how we get a robot apocalypse.
