One of the biggest problems concerning the development of robots is their movement. There are many alternatives with wheels but the target always was to do a kind of reverse engineering of a human being. Therefore the robot should be able to walk to adress our science fiction desire optimally. Now Anybots designed a dynamically balancing walking humanoid robot.

The real benefit of reconstructing the human movement is at least questionable because we are definitly not the perfect example of adaptive locomotion. But as bags of movies show the selfish drive of recreating an artifical humanoid being is much stronger than the mater-of-fact way of finding innovative enhancements.
