The pictures show a humanoid called Dexter which has flexible joints, driven by air cylinders.
Dexter is able to walk on hard or soft surfaces, can run over uneven ground and can even jump.
Dexter is built by Anybots, Inc. and performed for the crowds at the Robo Development conference in San Jose.
Like Roomba (refer to blog reference AI 6), Dexter could be upgraded to include mobile technology and connect to a Cloud Service so it can engage in AI dialogue with its owner. This could include health advice (refer to blog reference AI 4) and of course creates new inventory and opportunities for advertising.
