That's because you are watching a television program. A lot of people who heard I was on the show thought the robots were like 10" long or so, they never realized there over a meter long and weigh up to 220 lbs/100kg.
We have pretty much every discipline of engineering in our robots. Pneumatics, hydraulics, electronics, structural engineering, CAD, material knowledge. There's a lot more to it.
