On small wheels with the mobility of a 90 year old. This is not a mech.

It's a step in the right direction. I know they are working on walking and running robots. Would be nice to see in my lifetime.

Yeah, this is a pretty silly thing. Kinda old now, but still amusing. I think I'm more impressed that it's somehow street legal in Japan than I am with anything else about it.

There is a walking camel-looking robot somewhere on youtube. Even had pretty good balance, I recal someone trying to kick it over and it stumbled, but stayed up.


***found it
