If i’m not mistaken, this video is several years old (not the youtube upload, but the actual video). It would be very interesting to see what they can do now!

It is said to be using “Harmonic drive” motors (“Strain Wave Gearing”) similar to the drivetrain on the Mars rovers. First time I hear about this technology… invented in 1957 as per wikipedia Strain wave gearing - Wikipedia

It is said to be controlled by a very fast controler such as an ARM cortex M4 to generate the wave.
