Caltech’s Leo Flying Biped Can Skateboard and Slackline

Looks like a drone with legs more than a walking robot that can fly. I’m sure there is a use case where this type of agility is required, but I’m not really seeing a vast advantage over a drone or a legged robot for most usages.

Most took manipulation requires a solid base for leverage or lifting. I suppose if you set it ups as a drone with deplorable legs that could be useful when extra stability.
