I understand that Animals should remain Animal-Shaped.
Less Humanoid: Ok. I get it.

But I don't mind if pkm #Starters evolve #Bipedal.
It's actually quite #Natural.

I'd like it if #Pombon evolved into the #UrsineDog that is my profile pic.

And here on #Ardipithecus ankles -- the truly transitional early #hominin, still ape-like and climbing with grasping foot but also #bipedal

A small sfx test I made, and I am proud of it so please enjoy!

Kicking bipedal robots is now called “perturbations” in the academic language of aggressive human robot interactions.

The cameraman falling down also made the cut. I guess it’s only fair to also show human missteps along robot missteps.

A humanoid robot named Unitree G1 is apparently being mass produced. And the manufacturer thought it was appropriate to add this warning in its video presentation:

*We kindly request that all users refrain from making any dangerous modifications or using the robot in a hazardous manner.

It’s probably the closest thing to a universal robotic device to interact with our anthropocentric world and you expect us not to do dangerous things with it?

I bet that’s probably the first thing we’ll do with it.

When did #human #ancestors start #walking on two legs?

#Anthropologists have been arguing for 20 years about whether #Sahelanthropus, a #hominin that lived about 7 million years ago, was one of the first #bipedal #apes
