EvoBOT: a mobile cargo bot that adapts to the use case

Similar to people, EvoBOT balances itself like an upside-down pendulum. This allows the robot to adapt to an object's size, weight or form in order to pick it up.

It has two arms and two legs, but avoids uncanny valley territory by not being humanoid. The design is "bio-inspired" with hopes that consumers will accept its behavior. It's sort of like people, but unmistakably a robot.

EvoBOT's design is a reflection of our changing culture to accept mobile robots in our streets, stores and homes. It isn't on the market yet so time will tell how consumers take preference.

At the very least, it challenges our traditional notions of how a robot should look and behave. 

On a side note, I wonder if the design was also Sci-Fi inspired. It looks a lot like early designs of TARS from Interstellar.
