Wouldn't exactly call the one in that vid a walker..more like a shuffler, think some japanese guy made it.

Yeah what was wrong with tanks? |
Well the idea is a walker is supposed to be able to propel itself up a much greater incline or even small vertical steeps that tanks and other treaded/wheeled vehicles wouldn't be able to pass over. Ideally to combine the mobility of infantry with the firepower and armor of a tank.
Not gonna happen for a long time, and never in the Mechwarrior/2142 style that video is trying to recreate.
