While rovers have made incredible discoveries, their wheels can hold them back, and erratic terrain can mean damage. There is no replacing something like Perseverance, but sometimes rovers could use a leg up, and they could get that from a small swarm of four-legged robots.

Issue there is how does it handle loose fill material or sand/dust in its joints? That’d wear it down quick or result in it getting into an unrecoverable situation. (Wheeled rovers have a larger contact area and less likely to sink into sand.)
According to the article they would be supplemental to the rovers, not as a replacement. So I’d imagine they’d be able to retreat into some sort of storage on the rover where they could hopefully be air cleaned automatically.

What does this have to do with the walking space robots? Are they going to be part of a space anime that will end up in that subreddit?
Its a troll/asshole who made an account here solely to whine and complain.

No one here cares. Go back to Reddit.
