While discussing humanoid robots not long ago, someone told me their main issue with the form factor is that — from an evolutionary standpoint — we\u2019re not built particularly well. That\u2019s not to say that our bodies haven\u2019t served us well, of course.<\/p>\n
They’ve done the trick for a few hundred thousand years. It\u2019s more that if you sat down with a talented product designer and asked them to whip up something from scratch, certain concerns would likely lead them in an entirely different direction.<\/p>\n
Balance is on that list. Again, we\u2019ve done just fine for ourselves, all things considered, but if balancing was high on your list of priorities, you might opt for something with four legs and a lower center of gravity.<\/p>\n
