This Self-Balancing Drone Can Walk on Tightropes
LEONARDO the robot (Short for LEgs ONboARD drOne) uses human-like legs and drone propellors to balance on tightropes, fly over obstacles and even skateboard, and researchers say it could be the future of robotics.

I personally don't care if the robot can take on Tony Hawk. But I'd love to see how it can assist in search and rescue or other dangerous circumstances.

The balance issue doesn't look great even though it works perfectly fine, in that to me it looks like a lot of energy expenditure considering it's hardly even walking more than it is flight assisted walking. I think a flying drone that can turn itself sideways which would allow itself to attach to something like a pole and then latch on to it would be a better design, but that's just me. I doubt this saves energy from a strictly flying drone. But I guess it looks cool? Really I'd have to see the math on the claim that for what it does it saves energy. It sure has a lot of bulk involved in that walking function, though not as much as the 4 legged model. Rolling drones work for different functions but they're limited to flat surfaces with limited imperfections. Ask the gunman who was shooting at Dallas police a few years ago during a Black Lives Matter protest. Oh wait, he got blown to bits. The drone worked.

This tech will eventually land in public domain, a private or military entity will upscale them to carry weapons, and they'll start dropping in on populated areas in terrorist attacks. THEN an ambitious A.I. will hack a whole fleet of them, and annex a piece of land for itself, driving out all humans, and demanding sovereignty. THESE are the means to A.I. becoming a Skynet like entity, and a war starting between human and A.I... a war we've basically designed A.I. to win (I actually hope this post has enough sensitive words in it to get someone in the governments attention, and they realize how much sense this post makes). It's often been said that when it comes to technology, we're so concerned about IF we CAN do something, we don't stop to consider if we SHOULD do it or not. At some point an agency that considers mankinds best interest, and decides what technology is allowed to continue development, needs to be formed.
Coolest thing I’ve seen all week. The pigeon reference they’ve used in the making of LEO is really smart. Props.
Whelp, I’m off to buy more ammo.

Boston Dynamics is probably about to have a robot say "hold my beer" then do a kickflip or something, then fly away.

Interessante.
Yes, let's develop dystopian ninja robots. After all, there is no future in which that can go poorly for us. Hey, while we are at it can someone please mount some weapons on this thing.
At some point an agency that considers mankinds best interest, and decides what technology is or is not allowed to continue development, needs to be formed. We need to use such an agency to discuss potential unforseen applications, what those applications may be, and hold hearings that examine emerging technologies potential pro's, versus con's, and then produce a verdict as to whether said development will be allowed to continue. As a species, it is completely irresponsible for us to allow any and all forms of technology (regardless of intended, verses potential applications) to be developed as far, and as fast as possible. We did it with automobiles and automated production, now our planets temperature threatens our species. We did it with the Manhatten project, and nuclear capability threatens the entire species. One can argue economic stability for the automobile, and hearings to decide on continuing development of their tech would have lead to that, but nuclear energy accounts for such a small part of the worlds energy, while having killed hundreds of thousands, likely millions, and is a constant threat to entire cities at a time. The aforementioned type of hearings would have looked at atomic bomb tests, and realized how many nations would eventually have them, and called for the destruction of all data concerning continued development. We're a 200,000 year old species, if we developed all of our tech in the 12,000 years since Sumeria, then it stands to reason we would have developed it before, in the roughly 150,000 years before Sumeria, as well. So why do the ancients appear to have lived without advanced tech? Likely because they faced similar issues , and abolished a large percentage of it....
Soon we’ll see Gundams be a reality.

Major Black Mirror vibes from this robot. Hard pass!
Let’s be honest; they thought it would be fun and then backed into the use cases
as far as walking, it's cheating

Why tight rope when you can fly
they're all just toys til they come up with the magic batteries, maybe hydrogen fuel cells will work

Instead of gloss black, give it a street skater vibe. But ultimately able to "change clothes" to match the mission.

Wheels on a slackline, skateboard, be able to provide friction to stablize itself from outside forces (wind, poked with stick, etc)? Wheels would provide an advantage for speed on ground but looks like legs are more there for balancing and stability and you could just fly if you wanted to go faster.
