Yeah... I think another reason why you don't see this type of research coming out of the United States is really a differnce in philosophy. The Japanese have no qualms with creating a robot that acts and looks like a human or an animal for that matter. Their religion says anything can have a soul while the religious in the United States generally believe in the fact that humans are the only people who have souls. (Ill try and dig up the aritlce if you want me too) Also, it's imperative that the Japensae do this because their workforce is also aging and they really have no alternative. I recommend Robosapien the book for anyone who's interested in robotics. It's an interesting read about the technology and scientists behind differnt robotics projects.
Also please visit this website for an open source design of a walking robot. PINO
