Rapid advancement in walking and balancing, but not always advancement in useful things.
There's a golf cart following the bot with a guy using a remote control to drive the bot. So these robots are just like remote control cars. One even ran into the side railing.
These kinds of demonstrations are fun, but that doesn't mean they can function autonomously in construction sites, factories or households.
