What is the function of the thin rods parallel to the thigh and foot ?
And in this case, I think it would be parallel to the shin and foot. The "thigh" would be the thing that has the name of the school, the knee would be where that meets up with the long orange bit, the ankle is the joint where the two bars meet, then foot, and toe.
Birds are weird. Or we're weird and birds are normal.
I'd love to know what the battery life is. Humans can go for a very long time between refuels. Robots with Li-ion batteries don't seem anywhere near human efficiency, and I wonder how we do it...

Are you sure? https://world-masters-athletics.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/..., page 18 shows a 60 year old female competitor clocking 23.15s over 100m, so I would think most 60+ year old women would be slower than that, and the median grandma that runs the 100m faster than this robot would be slower than this robot.

I read somewhere sometime in the last 50 years

Well I don’t know the power consumption of this robot but did buy my kids a hover board for Christmas a few years back. The hover boards are 2 wheeled device you stand on and it moves you around as you pivot your foot at speeds of up to about 12km/hr. The battery is good for about 20-30km range which really surprised me. So for this robot maybe not as efficient as 2 wheels but I would guess it wouldn’t be hard to get…
FYI current record is 9.58 by Usain Bolt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men's_100_metres_world_record_...
Ostrich's top speed is ~40mph, easily beats Usain Bolt :)
