We’ve all seen videos over the past few years demonstrating how agile humanoid robots have become, running and jumping with ease. We’re no longer surprised by this kind of agility—in fact, we’ve grown to expect it.
The problem is, these shiny demos lack real-world applications. When it comes to creating robots [...]
