It’s a cool robot but I’m struggling to come up with a scenario where I wouldn’t just put 70k worth of networked sensors all over my plant. Or a bunch of sensors and a few simpler wheeled robots.

Come to think of it dogs are a pretty useless form factor unless you’re a hunter. Their main no-companion feature is their nose. If you could put just the nose at the end of a stick, you’d dispense with the furry backend.

A monkey might have been better. Can climb. Could add a prehensile tail. Still, it’s cool and general enough I’d buy one if the price came down to like $1000 and it was much smaller for domestic indoor use. Chihuahua class rather than golden retriever.

Isn't one of its major use cases the ability to move heavy things on unpaved terrain? Seems potentially useful for construction work.
