Due to the complexity of building a robot, every little thing that a robot can do is always a celebrated feat, and we’ve got nothing against that, after all, we do want our robot helpers in the future to do everything that we can do and more. Now AIST’s bipedal humanoid robot, HRP-2 Promet, was able to balance by standing on one foot.

Play the violin? Oh wait, they already do that…
