Just amazing. Upper body is so far ahead of everyone else. Lower is fine but it still walks like a robot.


It's fun that the head moves. No real need since multiple cams are used, but the moving head makes it feel so alive.

The end footage is great. Moving arms fast like that is hard and there is a little bit of sway after they stop. Disney audio animatronics are bolted to the floor yet have issues with sway.

Seems pretty likely that this version of the robot will be produced in larger scale. Still has a few exposed wires and moving parts but it's mostly a streamlined product.

Only thing holding it back atm seems to be software so they could start pumping these out to get a head start. Their hardware is ahead of everyone else.
