@GilHeron uhmm, if u r optimist enough, u will see that it´s kind of open source, so this information can help the development of, for example, high precision motor position in some biomechanichs systems that can be used for robot surgery,...that thing is that the technology behinf this robot, can be used as some founding knowledge to make other things that ypou may think "more useful"...as I told you, surgery robots, hazard places exploring robots, etc....

O they finally made the demon baby that will destroy us all

So we can't get funding for diabetes cures... but we can make machines crawl like infants. What is the practical use for such a machine? Oh... to sell for a profit of course.

Little boys have no cable in their back. Little boys have skin so they can feel what's good and what's bad. Little boys can learn on their own how to crawl. This is just a 200 000 € puppet that has been programmed to perform a crawling show.

But little boys also get older each day, and when they are old they become sick and die.
