Anstelle humanoider Roboter könnten Roboterhunde Arbeitsaufgaben übernehmen

From the article

>As humanoid robots storm [into the workplace](https://www.axios.com/2024/03/14/humanoid-robot-army-agility-digit-amazon-warehouse), the company that pioneered them — Boston Dynamics — is taking a wait-and-see approach, though there are hints that could change.

>**Why it matters:** Shippers and manufacturers want human-shaped [robots](https://www.axios.com/2023/03/17/robots-humanoid-figure-tesla-robotics-ai) that can lift heavy boxes and handle dangerous tasks, but it’s not clear yet if they’re going to be the right answer.

>Boston Dynamics is instead betting on [robotic dogs](https://www.axios.com/2023/12/12/border-patrol-us-mexico-ai-robo-dogs-drones-inspectors) and %5Barms-on-wheels%5D(https://www.iotworldtoday.com/robotics/boston-dynamics-stretch-robot-gains-new-skills) — not [Atlas](https://www.axios.com/2018/10/16/boston-dynamics-inscrutable-robots-controversy), its robot that put the humanoid category on the map.

>For now, „we don’t think that that’s the right form factor for logistics,“ Marc Theermann, chief strategy officer at Boston Dynamics, tells Axios.

Why are we modeling robots after humanoids or dogs in the first place? Yes we used to live in caves and tents once upon a time but we don’t model our houses after that.
