Oh man. That American robot sure doesn't "walk" anything
like a puppet-show bipedal Japanese robot. The way that
robot moves is just sort of... smooth and unnatural and hideous.
It looks like a skeletal Segway that returned from the dead.
I'm especially admiring the cheap inflated inner-tube
that keeps the robot from crashing to pieces when it topples
to the ground.
