In all other respects it's been a total catastrophe. It requires us to have narrow hips (enjoy childbirth, ladies!), and makes us slow, weak and unsteady compared to EVERY other animal. A truly robust robot would be more like a bear or spider. It would either have multiple legs and a set of "hands" like a spider, or it would walk on all fours but be capable of standing upright when needed, like a bear (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5817966&forum_id=2],#49566724) |

it's more practical for robots to be humanoid for a while at least |
