Did they just build this? [1]

The new thing here is that they can steer, by tweaking the motor phase.

We can't see what you posted, because it does not ship to our location.

It's a windup toy robot, resembling something like a retro vintage version of the robot emoji, and I assume the legs march the robot around after being wound up

Yes. Or it's similar enough that the images look the same to me.

I think the axle is fixed to one of the legs.
