It's very impressive seeing it get over those obstacles at that speed with no hassle.

Getting over the obstacles? No hassle? Did you not see its tether go taught? Without that tether it would have fallen asimo over tit.

However, more importantly, it's a planar biped.

Planar bipeds are not interesting. Everyone in the robots community, apart from students who work on planar bipeds, will be cringing at this "advance". The little robot in the icon at the corner of the summary is more interesting, from a robotics perspective.

Uh, the summary photo/icon is the same velociraptor robot. What are you talking about?

I'm talking about the *icon*. You're confusing the photo with the icon. This should be clear from the fact that you used the term "photo/icon". Look at your settings for the image preferences and re-evaluate what you wrote.

Then stop starting sentences with "Uh".

Eventually, you may be coherent enough to be able to post under a real identity without bringing shame upon yourself. But that might be years away, you have a long way to go.
