I've seen short clips of that robot before, but not something that shows it moving over different terrain like that.

I think there's the same problem in a series like Ghost in the Shell. I've seen the Tachikoma (the sentient mini-tanks) jump onto roof tops that would most likely collapse under the kind of weight they must have. They would have to be built of insanely light materials to be able to do that.
Suspension of disbelief FTW.
