This is “Kaleido”, a humanoid robot designed to assist disaster areas. Kaleido was made by Japan’s Kawasaki Industries.
The humanoid robot can lift heavy pieces of metal, and kick objects. It can also go to a kneeling position to properly carry the mannequin (which most likely represents an injured person), and stand up again. Kaleido, however, is a bit slow on moving. But he looks promising.
