Look at this robot here. Look how well it walks, imagine how advanced this will probably be in 10 years? It already walks very human, the singularity is on schedule.

Nice. I never understood why you would want robots to have bi-pedal locomotion. You would think you could find a better/more stable type of locomotion.

True but I would rather have two legs in the future.

This could have more applications than just android's walking.

We should realistically have that technology soon. I'm surprised we don't have some giant spider machine like in Wild Wild West.
