Check out JO-Zero in the video above as he does the limbo, gets up after falling and helps rescue a disaster victim.
JO-Zero was created by Motohiro Nakamura and has 10 degrees of freedom in his legs, 8 in his arms, and 2 in his waist.
This amazing robot was unleashed last September and can be bought as a kit for about $1,300.
