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.

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

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

Can you show us some examples?
