      Currently, the Kuratas is not capable of walking, but is able to drive forward and backwards on its four wheels at around 10 km/h. It cannot turn without external assistance.

      As of 25 April 2013, Kuratas has a price of US$1,353,500 (¥134,555,495, or €1,040,976).

      If you look up "boondoggle" there's a just a picture of this thing.

          This is a different, earlier project. Looks like they basically went the same route with the design after realizing that actual walking legs are impractical.

          I suspect this new company will go the same way as the previous one. I wouldn't buy stock.
