Next step is centaurs, four legs AND hands free to choke people.

Why stop there? Let's give it some tentacles!

This is your fault, I plead insanity.

Digital black and white drawing by me, of a robot centaur, essentially. Its lower body is one of those robot dogs with four spindly legs. Its upper body is the bulky upper body of a robot with two arms. It also has robotic tentacles protruding from its back. I'm very sorry for the mental image I have inflicted on you.

The reality is bipeds are poor designs for robots, the better design would be something close to arachnids. But Boston dynamics know they need to sell robots to society, so it's cute dance videos and dog like robots while they figure out how to strangle you efficiently.
