I think we should still be ok... untill that thing goes "wireless"

 

[MOnk]

That is extremely impressive. The control logic needed to keep a biped balanced is rather complicated and being able to move at that speed as well as compensate and perform alternate actions, very impressive.

I think they're cheating a bit, he.. I mean, it has cables attached to it's shoulders

 

[MOnk]

Cables are probably there just in case, you don't want your million dollar robot tripping and breaking. Also they mean very little in terms of balance.

Yeah 10x more complicated to walk on 2 legs than 4. Walking with two is essentially a series of controlled falls. (forgot who made that statement)

Lt Commander Data in Star Trek Insurrection while explaining to the little boy how his legs are the same length as the day they where created and that its amazing that the boy doesn't fall over.
