It's wide stance and big feet make it look quite stable when standing but those legs are so far apart that it looks like it would have to move it's legs very quickly or it would fall over. Even then it would be a clumsy jarring ride for an operator in the cabin. It can not stand and lift one leg at the same time which is a feature that makes walking much easier.

Have you considered adding two to four more legs or using tank treds instead of legs?

Why the humanoid shape? Is it the most effective or just an anime tribute?

@ russell – funny you should say "Rescue" because its sister bot is a rescue version…

I'm the Co Designer on the project and you can see the Rescue version at:

WHEN CAN THIS BE MADE

This has to be done. I don't care how, and I don't care how well it works. It has to be done.

Somehow. Anyhow. Just, please: make it happen, Rich People.

what do you do with vegetal carbon after cleaning? I like the concept but it may be used as a fertilizing, to help the recuperation of the affected area, it reminds me the goblin machine of the warcraft 3
