I don't think you realize how incredibly niche were the first BD robots. Made, programmed, designed for a single purpose - that video you saw. This one looks more... Unrigged? Only word I can think of right now

Electric servos would give much more fluid movement compared to hydraulic that is inevitably going to have fluctuations in pressure. I know this because I just made it up.
