When I first started building robots 15 years ago, the Big Thing was the group of robots being developed by MIT's "Insect Lab"; mostly these were robots inspired by ants or spiders, using their multiple legs to maintain balance while traversing over difficult terrain. With the advent of Honda's Asimo robots and the Robosapien, humanoid robots finally started becoming a popular design - so popular in fact that there are now yearly humanoid robot obstacle course competitions. Here's a video of the Robo-one Eagle Competition. If you haven't seen the advances in robotics (particularly in the control systems) in recent years, then prepare to be astounded.
