I saw it walking on those rock.. I’d like to see it try to walk across one of the streets here in Sacramento.

I didn’t see any running. Pretty cool though.

Imagine these armed and chasing down humans. They left plenty of room on the chest for the FEMA logo.

I’ve stumbled through the woods like that.
With a lot more style, too.

"They will use a different power source in the future"
A nickel for every time that's been said, and I'd be a millionaire.
Unless you bring the weight, CG, and other forces down significantly, you are looking at about 2.3 amps per axis @460VAC. Considering there are about sixty axises on this robot system, you are talking about 120 amps at 460 VAC. That's 95.609204578 Kilowatts.
Unless your future power system includes it's own nuclear reactor, the only way this thing is going anywhere is on a #6 AWG four conductor stranded cable and on a servo cable with about 400 #22 AWG stranded feedback wires. IOW, it's wire cable will weigh about 200 pounds for every thirty feet.

Maybe they could be used for fighting fires
Google revealed some of the technologies it hoped to developed, such as human like legs with
bone-like makeup and fluid routed internally like a human leg.

A malfunction with a 96.something killowatts draw is going to be quite a malfunction, leaving an arc flash (vaporizing everything because it’s hotter than the sun) within about an eight feet radius.

I’m holding out for a Cherry-2000.

For your ping list. . .
I have to ask, just because we can, should we?

Last major step is adding a serious power supply that matches. Make it biochemical and it can 'forage' for it's own food..

Make one that looks like this and I'm not gonna complain at all. Especially if it comes with that 18+ Adult Options code card. Now THAT'S a feature.
