This robot is made by Japanese amateur roboticist Hinamitetu.<p>There are lots more acrobatic feats on his YouTube page:<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/hinamitetu?feature=watch" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/user/hinamitetu?feature=watch</a>
Looks like this is the link to the original video at the creators account.

Well that was cool. But the page doesn't exactly have much in the way of words. Despite the spammy nature of the newslamp.com domain --and despite the spammy nature of the youtube video being in response to Katy Perry's Part of Me music video-- any idea what microcontroller is being used?<p>EDIT: And now this video is rocketing to the top of reddit, number two at the moment. Video is on liveleak.com. Way to give the actual producer credit, internet.
Cool, but not as cool as this, which was done in the early 90's: <a href="http://www.ai.mit.edu/projects/leglab/robots/3D_biped/3D_biped_flip.mpeg" rel="nofollow">http://www.ai.mit.edu/projects/leglab/robots/3D_biped/3D_bip...</a>
I like this video called "Bloopers" featuring some of the successful bot's older family members. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7eUvuruw7E" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7eUvuruw7E</a>
