    The problem is that these are under ideal conditions. And I don’t see an application for a running robot that can operate on under ideal conditions. Show me this thing doing the same thing under adverse conditions, and actually having an application (delivery?) and I’ll ne impressed.

    I acknowledge that this is a technical feat, and not an easy one. But show me why it matters. Why this is better than a wheeled robot moving at the same speeds.

      Running merely illustrates that the system can react with very little latency, it’s obvious that this will be applicable in any applications where the robot needs to quickly adapt to the environment, such as say factory work.
