This bot has really fluid human-like motions, and im betting they recorded motions from a person and transfered them directly . . . because I seriously doubt there is an algorithm behind it, otherwise . . . at least for the arms . . .

All I can say is that the problem of realistic scripted humanoid robotic motion can probably be solved through a 3d engine like Maya or Blender. I don't think the human performing is actually necessary ....but it would be quicker.

so Maya and Blender doesnt account for mass of moving objects . . . but thinking about it, accounting for mass of moving robotic arms is a solved problem . . . i think your right . . .
