Considering how hard it still is to create robots that can walk smoothly, this is quite an accomplishment.The so-called "Dream Robo" was actually showcased last year during the Shanghai Expo. It stands 1.4m high, weighs about 30kg and moves with the help of five motors that are built into its body.
