AI 中文摘要
人形机器人和四足机器人有潜力彻底改变我们工作、互动以及与智能机器共存的方式。为理解它们对社会的影响以及如何推动科学发现，我们从硬件、运动、自主、数据和应用维度评估这些系统的当前能力，梳理近期进展与实现腿式机器人广泛应用及新用途案例需克服的关键开放挑战，最后展望其未来，探讨伦理考量、经济潜力、政策影响及更广泛的社会效应。
英文摘要
Humanoid and quadrupedal robots have the potential to revolutionize the way we work, interact, and coexist with intelligent machines. To understand their effects on society and how they can enable scientific discovery, we assess the current capabilities of these systems along hardware, locomotion, autonomy, data, and applications. We identify recent advances and key open challenges that must be overcome to enable widespread adoption and new use cases for legged robots. Last, we provide an outlook on the future of legged robots, exploring their ethical considerations, economic potential, policy implications, and broader societal effects.
