......connected to their power source and processors by long cables...  :lol

(I too find it disturbing, mainly because the movement is so close to human)

I have never really understood the time and energy put into making a robot walk like a human.  I guess just to say you did it?
There are so many far superior and practical designs than bipedal movement.

Like?

Humanoid movement is very fluid, fast and can move quickly over many types of terrain as well as climbing\jumping over obstacles.

Adding another pair or two of legs at the least for better balance to survive a stiff breeze.  Even wheels or treads seem like better ideas.  It probably takes an insane amount of unnecessary calculations and balancing to keep a two legged robot from merely falling over on a perfectly flat treadmill, yet alone rugged terrain.

I didn't mean to poop on the thread by the way -- it's still very impressive.  I just never understood the reason it's been worked on for so long.
