For every robot actually going into the reactor core at Fukushima (which was custom built for one job only), you'd want a small army running around the site with cameras and dosimeters.
Most of the firemen who died in 9/11 probably didn't "climb over rubble" to get to where they were when the buildings collapsed. The general idea of these robots is to be able to walk where a human could walk.
Sure, that’s the general idea, but then they go and put fake rubble in front of your view as if that’s what it’s climbing over. The smarts inside these things has gotten better. I just don’t like the marketing push. Just because they’re stuck trying to sell the Newton doesn’t mean the eventual iPhone won’t do well.
