Just thought it was interesting. I don't know how significant this development means to anything.

Can a modern-day "John Henry Vs. the Steam Drill" be very far behind?

According to my math, 60cm per second is about 1.34 mile per hour.

I knew some boy scouts who could ride that slow (and they weren't even trying to at the time ), dont' think they could ride that slow on a balance beam though.

Giving a consideration to the difference in scale, it's about 4.8 miles per hour, Based on average person 180cm instead of the height of robot 50cm.

The age of the Terminator may come sooner than we thought.

Oh, awesome! Now I can buy a robot to do my training for me!
