The Engineering Cost of Transforming Robots: From Demo to Mass Production, How Many Pitfalls Remain?

Just like the leap from phones that could 'make calls' to those that can 'fold and transform,' deformable robots are also trying to cover multiple scenarios with a single set of hardware. But foldable phones still struggle with hinge lifespan and screen durability, while the mechanical complexity, control precision, and power constraints faced by robots are orders of magnitude higher than phones. Shangwei Qiyuan T1's switch between wheeled humanoid and quadruped modes sounds cool, but as a risk control engineer, my first reaction is: What is the false positive rate (failure rate) of this mechanical structure? How do bad actors (here referring to mechanical fatigue and environmental interference) bypass it? Is the rule coverage (reliability boundary) sufficient?
