Pretty impressive really- I do like that they have such confidence there are crash barriers around it though

Ok , You do a cartwheel and we shall see how well you pull it off

Broch scores :- zeh-ro pwah!!

Why do we want to create humanoid robots? On a purely effectiveness POV is a humanoid fighting robot a good design? I would have thought the processing power to handle balance and motion would be high and that takes away from it being used on other systems that more efficiently influences success on a battlefield like say threat assessment.
It just seems to me to be human centric to make robots to simulate human motion when it really isn't the best form to use. We cannot run fast, we cannot climb well and I bet our form does so much other things worse than other forms. I think that is the deep flaw in some sci fi films.
A humanoid build may not be the best chassis for many tasks.
But it can interact with infrastructure designed around people.
There is also the psychological aspect that might be useful in some areas.
When they add heels, lipstick and an earring you need to run!

It is actually the reverse of that, it increases hugely the number of civilian casualties, with reduced risks to your own troops. Automated drones, airborne weaponry etc can now reach a long way into territories and inflict harm on the resident population.I believe it is as it reduces the number of possible casualties that can occur in war and it can also reduce the human error factor of mistakes made in war.
I think you are lacking a bit of creativity. The form does not have to be humanoid to do the things a human does. There are animals that can run for longer and faster than humans. There are animals that can run on all fours and climb better than any humans (IIRC there are baboons in the Ethiopian high lands that climb, run and can use tools).
The lack of creativity is that you can have a robot take the form best for the action. A humanoid that becomes a four legged runner or a four armed climber. Moving over obstacles a human free runner will use hands/arms as well as legs to vault the obstacles.
What we always have is a pure humanoid. They are not bound by evolution in the traditional sense but by the best design that can be achieved. Imagine an ape like robot form for climbing up a cliff. Then a wolf like shape to run for a long time to reach the target miles away. Or a cheetah with the flexible spine to run quickly to cover the ground from the top of the cliff to the target. Then a humanoid to enter the facility. All in one flexible design. This might not be achievable right now but that is not to say the future could go that way.
