Thanks for posting that, I love watching these things. They move like dogs, mules or (in the case of the humanoid ones) humans These engineers have obviously made lots of progress emulating the movements of biological organisms (which are already kind of optimized by natural selection). It isn't just moving the legs, it's balance and the ability to move across uneven terrain. It's uncanny to see them shifting their balance like animals do.

When they combine the movements with autonomous AI like we see with self-steering cars, things will really get interesting.

I think they already have.
