I saw this robot at Takara-Tomy's Toy Forum last week and, unlike Robosapiens, which technically only hobbles, this robot uses multiple servos in the legs and gyro technology to actually walk.  The Takara-Tomy website has a press release in Japanese here:<br><br><a href="http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/ir/release/press/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/ir/release/press/index.html</a><br><br>Btw, back in 2005 Takara already claimed the smallest mass produced programmable robot (at the time) with their "Walkie bits" turtle robot.
