Tesla Cybertruck Frunk Is Hungry for Fingers

I'm surprised there aren't similar complaints about the joints of commercial quadruped robots - they're covered in pinch points.

I apologize, but I’m not sure I understand what point you’re making here?

It seems like such a strange comment- surely there is a gulf of difference between a commercial robot that will be interacted with by a few trained factory workers and something which is sold to everyday people and on public streets right?

Can you elaborate more on the comparison you’re trying to draw?

I am trying to take it in good faith, but I’m genuinely at a loss trying to understand what you’re going for.

Robot dogs are supposed to move outside factories among untrained people.

my quadrupedal non-robot conveyance systems have plenty of their own pinch points as well:
