What if it falls over? It seems pretty unstable to me. Does anybody know what kinds of hazardous environments that it is supposed to be used in?
A few come to mind:
- clearing rubble from demolished buildings
- working around volcanoes
- moving stuff around in a junk yard
- moving hazardous waste
Unfortunately, I don't think it would be useful in its current form for any of these things. You would need some sort of shielding for use around radiation, air filtration or on-board air supply for use around dangerous fumes, just to name a few considerations.
True, there are definitely lots of improvements to be made still.
As far as I know there's no concrete purpose for it yet, but it will definitely be used in areas or for tasks that would be too dangerous for a human to interact in.
