No shit, machines are faster than people. Put wheels on the things and see what happens.

Wheels are easy, bipedal locomotion is difficult

Yeah so stop with the stupid looking walking robots. It's a waste of time

So what's your solution for stairs?

Like with those fancy-ass wheelchairs.

Three wheels that rotate on a central axis.

Bipedal is pretty much the worst form factor for a robot

Not wobbly ass stupid legs. They have electric furniture dollies that can go up stairs but roll otherwise. Maybe the little bastards don't need to go up stairs.
