It seems to be very adept at scuttling about using a bent-kneed crouching shuffle, similar to many Robo1 designs. This method of locomotion is no doubt chosen for stability. But personally, I feel that the shuffle-gait, no matter how well executed, is antithetical to the concept of a humanoid robot. You don't see high-end bipeds moving in this unrealistic fashion; they use a striding walk. If stability is the primary goal, why stop at a bent-kneed crouching shuffle? A robot on all fours would be more stable yet. But that wouldn't replicate human locomotion, and neither does this.

I like it think he is using 4 servos in the knees or just double linking it for stability I cant play the video slow enough to get a really good look at it
