Something about the 'tippy taps' that the robots are making when not moving is pretty unsettling to me. Definitely in the 'uncanny valley.' Spot from Boston Dynamics doesn't do the 'tippy taps' - but I remember their older models did.
It looks a lot like what Boston Dynamics had maybe 5 years ago or so. With nice modern batteries I assume. Any clever innovation here?
