      Yes, very good point!

      I wonder if someday in the future we might use reinforcement learning to iterate over different mechanical designs to explore even more exotic combinations of wheels, springs, hydraulic pistons, steel wires, legs and joints (optimizing for metrics like mobility etc). I even wonder if flexible joints made out of hard rubber could offer any advantages on bipedal motion

      They might be able to ride bikes at some point.

      I think the benefits to making them humanoid are underrated in this comment section.
