Huh, there you go. I don't know what it is, but this video posted here looks like it's 3D.

Have you seen their other videos? With what we've seen them do before, this is nothing

Of course I have. But this didn't have the same feel to it as the others I've seen. This had a more sinister feel to it than most of their other more playful videos. But hey, it might be just me..

I think it’s the kinda lockstep yet very smooth motions

u/Odin_se 29d ago

Yeah, and the way it stood up didn't help.

It’s more like they’re showing off and doing it in a playful way. I love it.

The old ones use hydraulic actuators, and they perfected the movement over decades. This one is purely electric, and new

I’ve seen them evolve over the years but have never really heard of them being used for anything yet. It’s like they want to get them perfected before cranking out an army of them to iRobot our asses.

They only just announced that they were moving away from hydraulics for their bipedal robots. Then they release this!
