The question it answers

How does an electric humanoid walk, spin on its own waist and get up off the floor?

The steps

  1. 1Walk
  2. 2Turn the waist
  3. 3Turn the head
  4. 4Get up off the floor
  5. 5Open the plates
  6. 6One leg, three joints
  7. 7Take it apart

The big idea: Its joints are motors that turn far beyond a person’s range, which is why it can turn its waist and head all the way around (Boston Dynamics figure). It is fully electric and designed to work in factories.

The question, steps and idea are translated from the original site.

What it is

A humanoid that walks, turns its whole waist and head and gets up off the floor. You open its plates and see how each leg uses three joints.
