MODERATORS
I figure either way it's impressive, because the robot has to compensate live for things like not landing exactly the same way the mocap artist did, has to be able to quickly, powerfully, and precisely engage all of its motors without failure, basically all of the hard parts no matter what. It wouldn't surprise me if there's spinning gyros or something in there to help them keep balance and increase the "margin of error".
What is super impressive though is that in the drunken boxing part, the robots movements were mostly completely in sync but they 'stumbled' a bit at different times. So it can't be 100% preplanned movements, there must be some internal processing/ decision making that allows for slightly separate outcomes. Unless they programmed in those tiny stumbles at different times, but I'd rather assume that if each robot performed a movement 100 times it wouldnt always be EXACTLY the same, just like if a human was doing it. Of course that would also be the case if it was actual mocap but that would be crazy too.
