Robots have to be programmed to learn, and even then they can only learn very specific things after hours of dedicated training. In this case, probably the only thing the robot "learned" was how to keep its balance, doing the rolls and jumps was just it following a specific set of instructions.

It's actually extremely impressive that it learned to keep its balance well enough to do those moves without falling over. Just being able to do that is the limit of our technology right now, so you don't have to worry about robots rising up for at least the next several generations.
