What makes Leonardo unique compared to other robots?

• It can only fly.

• It integrates both walking and flying.

• It can only walk.

• It is the smallest robot ever made.

Why is having controllable legs beneficial for Leonardo?

• To make it invisible.

• To improve its landing on challenging terrains.

• To reduce its weight.

• To increase its speed.

What is the main purpose of the lab's gigantic fan setup?

• To power the robots.

• To generate wind for testing stability.

• To cool down the robots.

• To create sound effects.

How does Leonardo maintain stability while skateboarding?

• By using its arms.

• By using its legs only.

• By using a remote control.

• By using propellers for acceleration and steering.

What challenge does slacklining present to Leonardo?

• It has to carry heavy loads.

• It must avoid obstacles.

• It requires fast computation for balance.

• It needs to fly continuously.

What future application is envisioned for Leonardo in space?

• To serve as a space shuttle.

• To act as a satellite.

• To provide adaptive landing gear for Mars missions.

• To replace astronauts.

Why might propellers not be usable in certain space environments?

• They consume too much energy.

• Because they are too noisy.

• Due to lack of air for propulsion.

• They are too heavy.
