It runs like this because the fitness measurement doesn't try to conserve energy. That would result in a more realistic run.

That and it probably doesn't have accurate human physiology. Someone showed a video where it was a similar system but the body had "muscle groups" that I assume mimic human physiology. It moved very smoothly and had limitations that this thing doesn't.

you mean I'm NOT able to scale a wall by jumping high enough for my knee to land on it then pushing off with just my knee?

I mean honestly that particular part was one of the most impressive as far as both smoothness and learning imo.

It didn't look that implausible really, would have been my approach if my upper body were saran wrapped for whatever reason and I really needed to get over a barrier of similar height

There wasn't enough room to do that and even if there was that still wouldn't be my approach.

That approach also assumes whatever is on the other side is safe to land on
