Yeah, it just looks *wrong*. And sounds like a bee in a jam-jar.
Still cool, though.

I felt bad for it, though, when it was kicked. It reacted like a kicked dog or horse in terms of how it moved. I think that's why this is spooky.
From my readings in AI and robotics, though, when they use learning algorithms for locomotion, eventually the robots move very similar to live organics.

Cool! And taxpayer dollars going into it. That suggests we might be seeing "real" robots soon. 
(By "real" I'm thinking Rosie in the Jetsons or AyBee in Travellers' Digest).

By "real", I'm thinking more like the Gigolo series from AI.... 
Seriously, though - that is very spookily realistic. The big problem I see is that it doesn't have the last little turn where an ankle would be - that would make a big difference to some of the maneuvers it was trying.
