Wheeled bases, not legs: why production-test humanoids should skip bipedal design
AIFlow_ML · x · 2026-11-11
The author argues that humanoids deployed to production floors for testing should not have legs at all — instead they should use a solid base with wheels, citing DexForceAI's design as an example. The core point: wheeled chassis are more stable and practical than bipedal locomotion for industrial deployment scenarios.
