In a way. The motion was not spectacular like Boston Dynamics.

But any walking robot especially at that height and size is a significant engineering achievement.

And they have been working on it for months rather than years. And the system is entirely electric unlike Boston Dynamics.

The last demo was a person in a suit.

Your expectations were unrealistic if you are not impressed.

Similar robots are built every year in colleges around the globe by jr robotics teams. Walking robots have been around for 25 plus years. There was zero to be impressed about. Walking robots are to robotics as hello world is to programming.

It was not simply programmed to walk, it was also using computer vision to decide where to walk too

It looked like a very crude depth occupancy model.

Same as Tesla's FSD and 100% vision based. Is it crude too? I thought it was state of the art…

"Walking robots are to robotics as hello world is to programming."

You say this confidently, but it is nowhere close to true.

[sixQuarks]

Can you show us some examples?

Atlas is also electric. An electric motor tied to a gear pump presumably.
