Quadruped robot with robotic arm hauls a full-size tire while keeping its balance
CurieuxExplorer · x · 2026-10-30
A demo shows a quadruped robot manipulating a full-size tire while traversing an obstacle course, coordinating its robotic arm and adapting its gait in real time. The poster argues this mobility + perception + manipulation + control combination is what separates machines that can merely move from machines that can actually work in the physical world — and asks whether people would trust such robots around humans.
