Robot running. It will always look weird.

Just as cartoonists will never master the art of making their characters dance naturally, so to will inventors struggle to make their droids jog without looking in someway, well, naff.

They can jump, do yoga, even play the violin but when it comes hitting a steady canter, things go pear-shaped.

Alas, this will never change. How do we know? Just watch Terminator. Arnie's run looks as natural as a Benjamin Button baby.

Check out our bizarre robotic runs, after the jump.

Christmas Day delirium!
