I give it five more years before we see Robocop but with real robots. We just need the AI to catch up a bit and we're done.

Sure is a neat demonstration of their stability and control, but I can't think of single reason for a robot to do a handstand or somersault. Definitely time for work on the intelligence side.

Their robot's balance with some tactical weapon aiming control combined with human remote control using an immersive interface can make some military use today, if they can get improved battery technology to last longer and silence the motors.

The reason is exactly stated in the opening of your statement. Having such capabilities will become important when faced with the challenges that will be encountered in our natural world.
AI, as I see it, is more important in the choice of actions to be taken where simple rules - such as stability - are not as straightforward.
