is this an marketing gimmick or are they actually making walking robots?

From the Video the " Sex Doll Robot" is giving the appearance of walking, probably actually walking is still very much a future work in progress...whether this is a marketing gimmick or not, I Love It...and want more....

Astonishing technology.

I highly doubt this is going to lead to "actual" walking robots. If you look at what they've been doing, they seem far more focused on making showy visuals than anything else. I remember recently they were looking for more 3D graphics people over there. Nonetheless, still a cool demo. (Also a very cool industrial robot, getting put to absolutely no use. Just to look cool I guess?)

That walking looks surprisingly good! Getting her to balance would be another thing, but motorised arms and legs is a good move forwards. DS sure do have great taste in ladies, but horrible taste in music!

That's very ambitious to go straight for high heels. The balancing alone in flat feet would be a break through with a convincing human shape.

Google and Boston dynamics have some cool walking skills, but they aren't convincingly humanoid.

It's a long way between a robot connected to a pole and a robot walking on the ground. I hope for the best.

Impressive! DS-doll have always been precursors

It looks like an image of the HBO series Westworld

One of the first videos DS did when they started robotics was a hand with jointed fingers. It's nice to see they're still working in that direction.

I'm interested to see if they intend to stretch some sort of silicone skin over the plastic. I assume that's the plan, I hope so.

While it looks good, imho this overcomplicates things a lot. This is no longer a sex robot, but a fragile showfloor droid like Actroid was. The head and the shoulders alone were enough imho... Wondering how long it will take to actually hit the market!

Personally, I don't think they're ever going to get anything to market (as much as I'd like to hope otherwise). Funny you mention the Actroid - I think if you took one of them, stripped off the stand/mounting hardware, and whipped up a suitable program, you'd actually have a better sex robot than what DS has prototyped now. Pneumatic cylinders, if not being driven to their absolute limit, will be much more tolerant of being stalled out than electric motors. Plus you'd have a metal frame as opposed to what appears to be entirely 3D printed on the DS robot, and Actroids actually have foam padded bodies. Of course they never sold those things, and even if they did they'd most likely cost over a quarter million bucks. Sex robots are still a long way off.

Yeah, I think the same.
Actroid DER2 was beautiful and I always thought that at some point, at least one of the engineers privately tried to program her to do some sexy moves. I mean, that droid could move so good, why not trying?

Anyways... I too believe modern electric motors are not the right solution for long-lasting sexbots. I always wondered about “magnetic pistons” but I’m no engineer so that would just be a fantasy of mine. I hope we can see something on the market in the near future, we don’t need yet full fledged robots for making steps in the sexbot industry.

Alright, I might be going on a limb here, but I was an indie video game developer proficient in Unreal Engine and currently self-studying robotics myself. DS Robotics's laboratory looks way too swanky for I assume would be a city with expensive floorspace. Too many large props which should probably cost hundreds of thousands of dollars each at minimum, many of which look like they are doing absolutely nothing towards research and development. They are display pieces.

Now I don't expect an actual robot factory to look like a sweatshop from the 90s, but this looks way too much and more like a showroom. May I dare say a lot of their scenes are green-screened?
