According to the AP
Several videos of this robot going through its paces are on YouTube, such as HERE and HERE. The humanoid robots are certainly getting better at bipedal walking, but there is, as yet, no mistaking them for actual humans. Still a long way to go. But, this being a Japanese robot, they had to give “her” tits and and ass. I’m just shocked that tentacles were not immediately to hand. The gait is still seriously stilted, the knees are permanently bent, and it looks like it’d be pretty easy to knock over (unlike the far less aesthetically appealing and far noisier, but far more utilitarian quadruped Big Dog, here, here, here). But there are moments where its movements are disturbingly human.
I suspect in 10 or 15 years, the overpaid heroin-addicted bags of antlers currently strutting their bony stuff on fashion catwalks might find themselves in a serious bind, what with being replaced with automation and all.
Currently unimpressed:

I notice that they have got the feet down to proportional human size, rather than the giant clogs most of their animated war-bots have on the bottom of their legs.
