    My argument is that humans have built our cities to be navigated best by the human form, so that in that environment it is the best form. In most terrains a quadruped form is better.

      Put it this way - does it seem like cats and dogs have any trouble navigating our environment?

          Current prices are meaningless. It’s not mass production or retail pricing. I doubt the components actually cost more than a few hundred dollars. It’s an extremely limited niche market and prices are based on what will get them the most return on their R&D budget, not anything resembling production cost.
