Very worthwhile work. I looked up some youtube videos of the robotics in action and I think I must have found an old version. Any chance you can provide a link to the newest?
Very cool job indeed!

Probably the newest videos are the ones a recent customer uploaded to his own Youtube channel, here : http://www.youtube.com/user/robobrogan . He took lots of footage during his training sessions and sped them up, sometimes adding music, commentary, etc. Partly because the device does walk pretty slowly, compared to a human (it's not about the speed, it's about standing up and walking).

Is it a quiet process or does it create a lot of sound?
He seems really happy about it, nice work!!

It's still a bit loud, but a lot quieter than it used to be! Sounds like robocop, actually :-)
Here's a good demo video of the current-generation machine (walk starts at about 2:40) :

This is such a worthwhile endeavor. It is a bit loud, but I doubt the users mind. If there are future incarnations with new advancements, you should post video here. I'd definitely be interested in following the evolution of the product.
