I don't think it's real, but it still looks cool.

Heres the whole website - if a hoax - it is pretty elaborate.

Very elaborate, yes indeed, and I like the attention to detail. Alas, it is CG. I could easily (well maybe not easily, but it wouldn't be too hard) do the same thing with any number of robotic models I have on the harddrive.
