Not sure that bipedal motion is all that effective. Could have just put wheels instead for faster navigation and of course fly over terrain it can't navigate like its already doing.
- huhtenberg 5y agoIn theory, flying and hopping (via flying) can handle all walking scenarios. So if a robot can fly, that's it. In practice, I am guessing, walking or riding is far more power efficient.
