Wow! I don't have sound, so I don't know what commentary I missed. It is really amazing. At first it reminded me of those walking vehicles in the beginning of Empire Strikes Back, then, the faster it got, it reminded me of a fly without wings...Big Fly, rather than Big Dog...
newbie: the only sound on the video was an annoying mechanical sound, similar to a buzzing fly (a vocal flea?) or a whining robot butler accused of sneaking a dollop of oil.

Awesome. I remember many years ago reading that roboticists had yet to get a robot to walk on a smooth floor with any consistancy.
Problem solved, it would seem.
Get that thing small enough and it could be programmed as a helper for the elderly in their own homes, or for a robot butler for the Jetson-set...

At first glance, I thought it was a giant flea!
:-O
Flea, fly or butler!

"eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..."
Was I the only one who actually felt BAD when the guy kicked the thing to show how good it's balance was?
I caught myself thinking how much of a prick he was! To a ROBOT. Talk about anthropomorphizing...
GB!
It is so life-like! I was amazed when it (he/she) scrambled to remain upright , on the ice.
