That sounds like a neat project. I could sketch a lightweight frame using carbon‑fiber, add some low‑noise servos for the joints, and a tiny LIDAR to map the terrain. If we wrap the gears in silicone and use a silent motor, the whole thing should move almost like a quiet breeze. Let me know what you want it to do first—stepping over roots or pulling a light pack?

Sounds like a perfect little helper. I could wire it with a tiny stepper‑motor base and a small rack‑and‑pinion to pull a 1‑kg pouch. With a simple line‑following sensor and a GPS patch, it’ll keep pace with you, keeping the noise to a whisper. I’ll sketch a prototype next, and we’ll test the traction on a patch of moss. Any ideas on how you’d like the pack attached?
