Pan says that people like humanoid robots because they're showy and can be made to perform. But bipedal robots aren't stable and often fall down on rough ground. Six-legged insectoid robots are far more stable and are therefore useful for a broader array of applications--for example, emergency relief work in the mountains or in the wake of an earthquake.
潘同泰指出，大家喜歡看人型機器人，因為很炫、會表演，但二足的人型機器人遇到崎嶇地形常會摔到，並不穩定，而六足昆蟲機器人夠穩定，可以擔任山區或地震發生時的緊急救難工作，應用更廣。
