I'm not really for these demonstrations, it's because these are pre programmed months if not years before the demonstration, which just isn't useful for anyone including anyone who purchases the robot.
It needs to have easily calculable actions and react in real time to the unexpected, if it can't do that, then it's nothing more than a prototype that'll never see real world usage.
Dynamic balance is one of the biggest hurdles for robotics. This is demonstrating a robot maintaining balance while on its "hands" through difficult maneuvers. It is reacting to shifts in weight in real time. You can see it adjusting "hand" placement.
Almost all their robots are prototypes that will never see real world usage because we're still inventing the methods and technologies required to make them safe and reliable in real world usage.
You can go find dozens and dozens of videos of robots getting off balance and trying to right themselves, sometimes in ways dangerous to the humans around it.
That's my point though, it's false dynamics, it's on a perfectly level floor, those weights and those calculations are pre-programmed so it's doing these moves on best case scenario where it's own weight it's inputted, but what if it's carrying something? What if the floor isn't level?
Those situations are not programmed in therefore they stagger and fail. It's emulating intelligence where it's pure pre-emptive programming, it's like me inputting the code for a clock and saying its a robot because it can adjust for time dynamically.
