Michelle Sun(@michellelsun):Scott Walter, Robotics Research Diligence Director at RoboStrategy ($BOT), wants a humanoid decathlon. “I'm throwing down the gauntlet for the humanoid decathlon challenge.” One robot. The same 10 human events. The same rules. That means more than a sprint demo: › Hurdles and turns › A pole vault that tests upper-body and grip strength › A baton exchange that demands manipulation › A long-jump sand pit, because sand in the joints is part of the test A specialized robot can win one optimized event. A decathlon asks which joints, control policies, and hands survive across a body of work. @GoingBallistic5 @RoboStrategy
