Quadruped robots like the Unitree Go2 show why embodied AI requires more than language models. Their real value lies in carrying sensors through difficult terrain for inspection, research, emergency response, and remote observation. Battery life, autonomy, payload, maintenance, and safety still limit real-world deployment.
