Two-wheeled biped robot shows why deployment matters more than raw speed

The post argues that the real challenge in robotics is not raw speed, but making robots usable in the places where humans actually work and move.
It highlights a two-wheeled biped robot that can handle uneven terrain, obstacles, stairs, ramps, curbs, rough ground, indoor spaces, and industrial environments. The point is that mobility only becomes valuable once it is deployable in human-built spaces.
