They have really figured out the algorithm for a smooth natural-looking stride and recovery. Not sure about jumping but I don't see much advantage to that--climbing would be much more useful unless you're programming a robot to play basketball. Agree it’s not as good as Boston Dynamics.

It is pulled by the string before the leg can reach the ground. Does that mean it cannot complete the jump safely by itself? That jump part does not depict how the robot could land by itself.
