I’m more impressed that the power supply lasted that long.

The robot identifies as tripedal and rejects your bigoted bipedal label.

“running gait”
That implies that both feet were off the ground at some point in each stride. I wonder if it would have been more efficient for it just to walk. 3 miles in 53 minutes is not blazingly fast.

Ahhh... it’s so cute these kids think their innovations will be used for “performing tasks that help people live more fulfilling lives at work and at home.”

The video shows humans with cameras walking behind the robot filming. At some point it was a fast walk.

Will he/she/xe/they compete in the 2024 Olympics? Is lube oil a prohibited performance enhancing substance? Will he/she/xe/they break the cardboard bed? Inquiring minds want to know.

That’s how humans do it.
