Thanks! That seems mostly like what I expected.

I would have to practice with the controls for a really long time to be able to pick up a soda can that deftly, though.

While they are not using deep learning, I think they're doing good work building a platform that can later be controlled via neural net or whatever. The control-theory-based balance and locomotion means that the lowest-level aspects of operation will not demand resources from the neural net and provides the prototypers in the meantime with a way of experimenting to see what body designs might be most effective.
