How does it stand up to getting shoved?

[Turtan4]

@UpcomingJedi

It falls.

Duh.

[UpcomingJedi]

@Turtan4 I guess you don't know besides, the question wasn't fo you. Thanks for your opinion anyways as useless as it is.

@UpcomingJedi

How obvious is that?

The thing obviously stays up by being in motion.

It doesn't have any fancy gyros or such like big dog does.

The question was STUPID wich i answered with stupid answer.

[sirkill59]

why is that guy not wearing shoes.

[gyroknot]

the guy making it walk looks like such a nerd

[ReinhartVoulon]

Wow, I love how the little feet go!

[shaurz]

A lot less impressive than Big Dog though.

[Ericgtx]

Cool!

[chrysillo]

call me an ignorant, but if it's controlled by a remote, how can it be called a 'robot'?

@chrysillo

Well, what they are demonstrating here is not the autonomaty, but rather the robot's ability to walk on its own.

More of a proof of concept for leg-based movement.

Movement which I feel is pretty inefficient.
