There is nothing in the video that helps to reference it's scale. I would have loved to see something in one of the shots to help get an idea of this thing's actual size. A person standing beside it would have been ideal.

I shoot and edit video (among other things) for Carnegie Mellon's Robotics Institute. All of the clips I post help let the world know about all of the cool things at CMU in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. Thanks for watching!

Man, they are going to have to manufacture a 250,000 mile long cable to control that robot!

Mna robots are still in their infint stages. I can't wait until they get more complex. I'm sure it'll happen quick just like with computers
