without a doubt this tech is impressive as fudge.Their smaller robots are selling pretty well.
....no idea how they make this into something that does cost-effective work in a general way. sure,.. useful for sending into the ruins of a collapsed building to search for survivors. ..but do we expect this to replace the 670,000 carpenters in america? i hear "manufacturing" but there are far less complicated and efficient machines that can do that sort of work. it's not like an automation line needs a machine that can do a backflip off a platform...

without a doubt this tech is impressive as fudge.The tech probably isn't ready for mass market yet. But at certain points even the cell phone was unpractical. But technology moves forward and this builds up to bigger things. Just think creative and imagine where this tech can be in 30 or 40 years

meh. in the industry this is simply called "rounds data". it's a workaround for actually instrumenting your equipment. it's expensive when a human does it but more importantly is a really shaming view of your equipment. it's hard to make an informed decision when you only get data once or twice a day compared to instrumentation that gives a reading every second.It's not a big industry by any means. The current robot dogs are very much a solution looking for a problem, but companies are finding uses.
the problem with legacy sites is the instrumentation needed to be planned as part of the initial build of the equipment. retrofiting instrumentation has been expensive or outright impossible on plants that were created in the 50's before computers were a thing anyone was thinking about.
so...
1. modernally built equipment (especially in established industries) now build the required instrumentation into the equipment.
2. there has been massive advances in "smart sensors" that can be installed wirelessly and provide real time data at a fraction of the cost. it wasn't that long ago that the expected cost to retrofit an asset with modern instrumentation was expected to cost ~$100,000. today it's more like $5,000.
the dogs are cool and all but it won't be a big industry trend. no one is happy with rounds data regardless of how it is collected.

And of course, there is a practical use for this tech now days..... weapons.

It's not a big industry by any means. The current robot dogs are very much a solution looking for a problem, but companies are finding uses.afaik drones are popular for only 2 things:
I'd wager by the end of 2030 though, walking robots will explode in popularity like drones did last decade.
afaik drones are popular for only 2 things:Yeah drones are used for a lot of things besides delivery haha. I specifically know of them in agriculture and pest management.
1. toys
2. dropping grenades' on Russian soldiers.
as "industry" found a use for them yet? i remember reading last fall that amazon canned their research into using drones for deliveries.
so like,.. yeah drones are much more popular than they were before for a %change perspective but it's not like its a major industry. ..and i'm not going to call it a "fad" or anything but i found this site and i'm while not 100% certain the data is legit but it certainly gives me "confirmation bias":

...basically there was explosive growth for a bit when it was a "new" thing but the market topped off pretty quickly. 1.4 B $ WW isn't a tiny number but like.. put it in context. Toothbrushes is a 7 B $ industry.
