PETMAN Walks Like A Man

Looks like Boston Dynamics, the robot company that brought us BigDog and RHex, has worked out how to make a robot walk like a man. This is PETMAN, a robot that is supposed to serve humans. Currently it is used to test chemical warfare suits for the military. Link (with embedded YouTube clip)

    So how does a man walk? Differently than a woman?

    How about it walks like a person, or a human, or bipedally.

    A man walks on two legs, as opposed to BigDog which walks on four legs like a mule, and HRex, which walks on six like some kind of amphibious alien.
