I guess I should have expected this. A typical stunt only lasts for a few seconds, so they don't need a lot of power on-board to get the job done, which in turn means they don't have to be quite as bulky as those Boston Dynamics robots. Speaking of Boston Dynamics, those robots prove that there is more than enough technology available to make this sort of thing technologically feasible.

And hey, if it makes work a little less dangerous for stunt performers, isn't that a good thing?
