## Resource

In this episode, I spoke with Tony Yang from Unitree to talk about what he calls the “home dog.” Quadrupeds may be the first robots that actually make sense in the home. They’re stable, already capable in real environments, and closer to practical use than humanoids. We unpack why this form factor matters and what it could mean for the future of companion robots. "Home dogs" are coming and soon. #homedogs #physicalai #robotics
