Asked as: “Which humanoids roll on wheels instead of walking?”

Answered by the Rapidflare agent

Four of our humanoid robots move on a wheeled base instead of walking:

I can't say for sure how a few other humanoid robots get around, because I couldn't find how they move. These include the Unitree G1-D, Unitree R1 EDU and Richtech ADAM. Some of the G1-D's sensors are listed as "Ultimate chassis only", but I couldn't find whether that chassis has wheels. unitree.comunitree.com ↗“LiDAR (Ultimate chassis only)”
