That seriously impressive!

I notice when he runs he lands flat-footed, moreso than when he walks, and that he doesn't pronate at all. Perhaps if they could make him do this, then he wouldn't walk like he'd shat himself :lol:

...and yes, I realise I've just referred to the robot as 'he'. I grew up with Asimov, it's not so bizarre!

He runs like a gumby. All he needs is a knotted hanky on his head and a string vest on :twisted:

Reminds me of the way an orangutan moves when 'he' is walking hand in hand.

I thought he looked a bit nervous - perhaps she was his first girlfriend :)

Not so impressive really...

...get that mechanical thing outta the way and I'll walk hand in hand with that nice young lady, serve her coffee, AND take her to the pictures too!
