'Robots could do that decades ago, they're called cars': humanoid sprint debate
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-08-24
teortaxesTex quote-tweets a debate over humanoid robots sprinting. The quoted post argues wheels beat feet for speed — robots have done this for decades and the type is called a car; if humans could switch to wheels when speed matters, they would. It then asks what the actual applications are for a wheel-less humanoid that needs to sprint, while conceding the demo itself is impressive.
