Oh damn I remember those things! I had one of the company's Robosapiens for years. What a disappointment that thing was.
I saved up as a kid to get one of these in the early 00s, thinking it would be able to fluidly run around like a robot dog from a cartoon or something. So I feel your pain, it was very disappointing to see it slowly inch forward while wobbling back and forth.
