Cute . . . but how does it do on curbs, rocks, stairs, etc.? It negotiates a nice clear path, but, heck, I can do that.

A stroll is a stroll.
I eagerly anticipate the next video titled “Humanoid robot leaves its third floor apartment walkup, goes across the street, then hits a hiking trail”.

And you promise us this one isn’t CGI? As this robot went for stroll just last year and many of us were fooled (once). Also isn’t there a fine Boston Dynamics tradition of kicking them a bit to see how they recover?

What’s truly disturbing in this video is the lack of people on the streets. Looks like our robot overlords have already struck!

Has anyone yet invented a walking robot that can navigate terrain that can’t be crossed by a treaded vehicle for a couple orders of magnitude less cost?

You’re not better than me, okay?! Just because you’ve created life doesn’t make you some kind of god. There’s more to life than life!

They really missed a beat by not getting the camera angle right and playing the BeeGees. Sheesh.
