This does not look real. I can’t put my finger as to why. It looks like good CGI but the lighting off the robot does not feel perfect.

The speed changes so many times in the video that you immediately get the impression of it being unreal.
I have seen several other humanoid robots, this one looks much too "tidy" to be true: no tubes, cables etc. and all the joints look too good to be true.
One very impossible detail in the way it moves: it plants it's feet on the ground thoroughly and with ease. No current robot does it like that, they rather "slap" the ground with their feet, or have no feet at all.

Make it better next time, you CGI folks :-) by making it less perfect.
You see stuff like this a lot with Chinese videos. I recently saw an electric supercar type vehicle from them jump potholes automatically at high speed as if it was nothing. Just keeps driving with zero wobble or death after landing.
I thought the same. And watching the second video it's still impressive, but much more realistic.
Also, once solution to avoid having so many cables: the batteries last just enough for the promotional video.

You mean like this?

Boston Dynamics used hydraulics, for their older generation bots, but AFAIK the new ones don't, so there is no tubing or wiring visible on new models.
I have seen one in real life recently. A fairly new one. Cables weren't very obvious on the outside, but they were there, for example around the shoulder joints. And very much on the additional modules.
The Figure robots don't really have cables that are visible. I think the bigger takeaway is that the movement is too fluid, every robot I've ever seen moves like robot, mostly because of how heavy they are. That thing's moving like a human gymnast probably because it is a human gymnast being motion tracked.
damn... there goes my heist plans... was going to wait till AI robots took over the manufacturing lines, then walk in and start stealing product right off the line. I never anticipated all the robots would know kung fu.
It's funny a fake video is connected to self defense theater.
Ew that whole site feels off. There are a few other pretty immediately obvious fake robot videos under the 'innovation' section.
Oh shit, they can fly now?!

this should make for some kickass robot contests. id like to see two real-time kungfu robots go at eachother.
