Oh wow! Are those winter tires?
Wonder what the pay back time is on that thing ? Wonder what the programing cost is . Wonder what the maintenance cost is . Wonder what the lead time on replacement parts is . Wonder what the cost per hour is , compared to a human is . A human in a 3rd world country .
Wonder is it is doing to vote Democrat ?
Overlords ? You read science fiction , too ?

Imagine this thing with guns and A.I. I think they made movies about this in the 1980's didn't they?
A lot of movies . Not just the 80's , I think ? They were always the " bad guys " .
I think I saw this a while ago, it was when they were acquired by Toyota and got turned into a mass market robotic company instead of specialist in humanoid (legged) robotic company. I heard the people there weren't too happy because of this, and then Toyota eventually sold it / leave them alone.
It doesn't cost too much in parts and material compare to the R&D cost and scale. They probably don't need too many of them if the warehouse is already well automated like Amazon and Walmart, just a few to supplement those cheaper simpler dumber Kiva robots.
With a gun they can be pretty deadly, but with insulation they can be pretty handy for fire fighting, rescue mission, policing, etc in the urban area.

A few used human brains instead of AI. It always ended badly.

It's funded by the military so there is no payback time.
