    I wanna say it was a dynamics robot that was awkwardly jogging because of an unbalanced load. Stopped. Got on all 4 and ran off WAY faster (50-60kph) up a rocky hill.they basically said going bipedal was really just to comfort the people around it.

        The reality is bipeds are poor designs for robots, the better design would be something close to arachnids. But Boston dynamics know they need to sell robots to society, so it’s cute dance videos and dog like robots while they figure out how to strangle you efficiently.
