A few weeks ago we wrote about the "violin playing Toyota robot. That one was actually one of the Toyota's Partner Robots, robots that are designed to function as personal assistants for humans.

In the attached video, the 1.3m and 50Kg Toyota humanoid robot displays an impeccable sense of balance as he (or she?) jogs on-the-spot and runs (at 7 km/h). It's also impressive to see balance recovery after it gets pushed.

Watch the video to fully appreciate this display of advanced robotics.
