Biblically accurate robot?

It doesn't seem useful for much, as is, beyond exploring. But, it's good to see innovation beyond humanoid shaped robots.
This is better understood with a video:

Seems great to explore the shallow ocean or potentially lakes, especially if you can add different kinds of cameras

Wouldn't like an eight-legged crawling bot with a 360 degree camera be able to do the same and faster? Seems like there's a lot of time spend in air where he can't control himself that well.
replies:
Looks like a lot of redundancy. Or in other words, the design seems wasteful.
Maybe it's good for something, and it's cool to try radically different concepts. Who knows, maybe they learn something from it that is actually useful.

Doesn't a sphere like this make more sense?
Ah yes, man-made horrors beyond my comprehension.
Kind of confusing to me. Because personally I have thought the concept of imitating dogs and humans walking, is a potential weak point in robot design. But this? I fail to see it's practicality. It seems, better at, going directly left when it was going forward? The fact that the whole design rolls to move makes it fairly, impractical for any tasks involving moving things or using anything. It can travel on sand, though I'd imagine stairs or even too high of a hill would be implausible.

It's not really Eldridge if we make it right?
