    So I’m not as caught up in the current state of robotics as I’d like… The article talks about these being used to patrol, do safety inspections, and the like.

    Wouldn’t it be cheaper to replace each of these with a dozen quadrocopter drones?

      Tbh different tolerences. Drones can be smaller and can fly but also more ways to fail. I bet these (i mean for the price they better be) are more reliable. Even if its windy, snowy, or raining.
