Not trying to be contrary here: have you taken any robotics courses? We do walking algorithms for our sophomore classes now, as an intro to complex multivariate simulation. Desktop sized, but motion tracking for telemetry control of end effectors is a common enough student project that we’ve started requiring people to modify their project proposals so they’re not just implementing some online tutorial by rote. (SLAM on hexapods is another classic undergrad project, though one that doesn’t have nearly as much direct applicability to the topic at hand)
It has been a while since I went to college but I don’t remember college robotics classes building robots capable of bipedal motion at all.
