bipedal robot
Two-legged automaton
A bipedal robot is a robot that walks on two legs, mimicking human or animal locomotion.
The engineering challenge of balance and movement makes bipedal design more complex than wheeled or multi-legged alternatives: Boston Dynamics' Atlas is among the most advanced bipedal robots.
The term often appears in robotics research and science fiction contexts.
