Virginia Tech Students Build CHARLI, a Human-Sized Robot

smackay writes "As CHARLI takes his first steps, anxious onlookers stand ready to catch him if he falls. His stride is short, but upright, as one foot is placed in front of the other in the basement of Virginia Tech's Randolph Hall. But CHARLI is no toddler. He is a 5-foot-tall humanoid robot. Video of this ground-breaking robot included."

What is the robot made of, if each step breaks the ground? I can only imagine the seismic effect an army of these ground-breaking robots would have.

All those brains and yet...

They still manage to stick the video in an area normally reserved for lame advertising that everyone has learned to tune out.
