Here's a video I found of his robot on Youtube.

It's amazing what he's done with his budget, but the noise her face makes when she talks would drive me crazy.
I really hope he manages to get some funding. Perhaps myomer bundles that simulate human muscle would work to make her faster and remove the whirring sound. Might even make her more lifelike. Only problem I can think of is that myomers suck a lot of juice to work.
If he succeeds we're that much closer to having mechs.
