Whether or not humans are "more than" machines is a vast subject of debate.
What is interesting right here, however, is the fact that watching this video many people do feel some sense of empathy for the robot.
The editing of the video deliberately and perhaps inexpertly(1) heightens that, but I think we'll be surprised (as a society) at how we "feel" when robots really start walking the Earth.
(1) The recent film "Ex Machina" explores this topic at some depth, and very expertly.
