The machine was very impressive (and loud!) as it walked around. The legs are basically inverted Stewart Platforms, with force-torque sensors and uni-directional compliance at the ankle. They are currently conducting a series of performance tests with the unit outdoors in urban settings (sidewalks, street curbs, etc.).

I can imagine it if those legs go wild. Gromit my trousers have gone crazy.

Last week I was pariticapint in a National Science Foundation review of ongoing robotics research in Japan. While touring through the labs at Waseda University, we glimpsed a device through an open lab doorway, and just had to find out more.

Dave you are so lucky.

Biggest problem is that wheels and motors don't break as easy as hydrolics and pistons.

Look again at that robot. It uses no hydralics. Also, I really don't think hydralics are that unreliable as you think they are.
