New Ropid robot - anyone know Japanese?

[altwolf]

Here is a webpage about the new robot "Ropid" from the designer of Mano, etc.

It has really good info on the unique "timing-belt" system they used to make him run and walk and jump. Unfortunately, the Google translation is awful and I can barely make heads or tails of it.

Does anyone know Japanese and if so, can you provide a better translation?
