Have you seen these dogs move? It seems like you’re not very familiar with them. They can jump fences and outrun a human, they’re also remarkably stable for the body and can have a higher center of gravity which sensors appreciate… The tech works prettywell
And tracks take a lot of maintenance and tend to tear up floors if they’re tough enough to handle the outdoors. They’re also very heavy and expensive, and far less efficient or fast as wheels. They’re uncommon for a reason, they’re an even more specialized version of the wheel
Well you should probably let the engineers at Boston dynamics know your views. Maybe they just aren’t familiar with wheels. They’d probably feel very silly having spent all that time on an inferior tech tree
Seriously though, these are being used for a reason. Have you ever once seen a video of one of these stuck out in the wild? Because I’ve seen plenty of compilations of wheeled bots stuck on curbs or sign posts

I’ve watched videos on them. I stand by my original statement.
Note that I didn’t say that they are “junk” or “useless.” Just gimmicky.
