In a recently uploaded video, the robot can be seen jogging through a field and jumping over logs.

Its newfound athleticism is thanks in part to its smaller and more efficient design.

Given recent advances in artificial intelligence, the idea of a super-smart, human-like robot capable of independent decision-making may not be that far-fetched after all.
