I find this quadruped small robot as most unique for selected applications. As a 1st Gen, the Minitaur only has a battery life of 20 minutes and a payload of 3 Kg. Having said that, it can move out at up to 2 meters/second, climb walls, open doors, negotiate stairs and according to the company, leap over selected obstacles…(video in hotlink below)
It also looks to me like it would not be a leap of faith (no pun intended) to scale this critter from a Tier 1 to a Tier 2 or 3. I have no connection with Ghost Robotics. When I see a new unique technology in a particular space I will post it to illuminate the art of the possible.
