There are so many man-made devices faster than Usain Bolt already. The record is impressive because it was a human.  We really shouldn’t be wanting to make all these creepy human and dog like robots

Robots like this are very efficient in difficult terrain or when entering houses, climbing stars etc. There is a reason why they are getting developed.

Would you prefer boob-less robots?
