I have no idea what I'm talking about... and much less than you because I've never used drones.
When I saw the big dog prototype not falling when pushed, the assumption I made is that the eventual objective would be to just try to keep going and self-correct when unevenness is encountered.
Never thought about fully automated walkers -- just manually guided, but able self correct on rough terrain.
My education by Youtube says they're supposed to follow a person. So it might still be quite useful even blind as long as it goes roughly the route its leader went.
