When to deploy this.
- Classroom SLAM, gait-control curriculum in robotics programs for undergraduate labs
- Indoor human-robot interaction research and side-following algorithm validation
- Agility demonstrations and public engagement at university events and open houses
Limitations
When to skip it.
- Entangles on vegetation and slips on flat outdoor terrain; unsuitable for unstructured field deployment without engineering reinforcement
- Battery runtime (1–2.5 hours) insufficient for full-shift surveillance or extended patrols
- Payload under 5 kg limits sensing payloads; no sensor/module swapping without custom mounting
