- The wheeled base is equipped with batteries to address power depletion during operation and stability issues
Larmedias Interpretation
Larmedias Analysis- The choice of a wheeled platform instead of legs and a low-degree-of-freedom gripper represents a pragmatic engineering decision to conform to existing factory safety standards and uptime requirements, and can serve as a differentiation axis separate from the industry's mainstream bipedal humanoid trajectory.
