I always get a serious 'uncanny valley' feeling when I watch a video of one of these things. It reacts very organically when it stumbles and tries to recover and yet the rest of its motions are obvious mechanical facsimiles of natural movement. Reminds me of rat things from Snow Crash.

It wasnt made to look human, fully opened and wired everywhere, yet the behavior/balance was more complex and on point than anything I've seen.
