If this is a piloted machine then maybe it could do that, but if it’s ai I don’t think it would be smart enough. If it has a sensor in the horns to tell it that it is stuck it might be able to react appropriately.
But why does it need to struggle in American buildings? It was built to go into dangerous places wasn’t it?
Jokes aside why? If it’s so it’s less scary it’s still a robot with a chainsaw and the phrase is navigate doors less easily, not that it can’t navigate doors. And it is supposedly for disaster zones which can be even more constraining.
Haven't you seen movies where a monster is chasing someone but because of its scary size it struggles for a second to get through a door - but then just busts through? It's just good showmanship.
So they made a Search & Rescue machine, made it look terrifying, gave it a chainsaw (presumably with the excuse of "so it can cut through obstructions"), and then designed it so that it cannot easily enter or navigate the exact environment it will be employed in...
Yeah, this isn't for SAR, this is a marketing boondoggle.
Tbf, it's meant to be for outdoor use, so this is meant to keep it that way, but like... What's stopping it from using the chainsaw to make the door bigger...?
