Scale this up a bit and I could see it working as an urban courier.

Cool format.

Cool! Does anyone have a list of challenges that must be tackled before such humanoid robots become usable for tasks such as household chores, cooking etc?

I’m sorry Dave, the best we can do with this robot is to make it capable of doing your job so you can focus on doing your chores and cooking.

So between AI and robots that can do this, humans are basically done right? I am going to bed.

Very impressive! I’ve not seen this configuration before.

What are the advantages to this compared to something more stable like 3 or 4 wheels that can’t just fall over?

Close enough to a humanoid then you can move to places that humans can move to / around.

Ability to walk up stairs?
