    Technology makes possibilities and not outcomes. The idea of a bipedal mechanical assistant that can carry , move and lift items for the elderly , on call 24/7 could be another possibility.

    It’s likely things would go as you say. Still there is a possibility that some other applications could come out of this kind of bipedal platform as well.

    Delivering mail is a complex task for a machine. This is a technology forum so at some point we should be excited that there are possibilities in the future.

    The distance these devices could go gives many more possibilities than a similar platform that can move shorter distances.

    My first thought for a platform that could move through human spaces at 13 miles an hour was a military robot for urban combat similar to a terminator. So mail delivery robot is the optimistic version of the future.
