Intended use, per the manufacturer

The manufacturer’s words

Legged robots are vehicles with the potential to replace humans in dangerous and dirty tasks where vehicles with wheels and tracks cannot go. Possible applications are disaster recovery... search and rescue, forestry technology and construction.

Every field in the schema

8 of 33 fields stated

Imperial figures are our own conversion unless the manufacturer states an imperial figure itself. The source letter always belongs to the metric figure — a conversion has no source of its own.

The letter points to the source at the foot of the page. Fields without a figure are dashed: the manufacturer does not state them — that is not the same as zero, and not the same as no.
