Once the tech gets to AMEE I am officially scared.

Because it was programmed to act like a spastic purse dog chihuaha, just wait till they get it to randomly piss itself.
The most likely reason is that it's constantly adjusting it's balance and the developers didn't care enough to program it to be able to just stand perfectly still.
This is common in fully autonomous robots. They are constantly adjusting balance and the control feedback loops on the software side of things get ridiculously complex.
It has little to do with the software guys not caring, this is their working solution and very few researchers have fully autonomous bi/quadruped robots that can stand completely still without assistance.
I guess this way walking robot can oversee greater distance if these 2 can communicate with each other.

So... basically if they cared enough to do so, they could have put the effort in to do it... but since they probably didn't have a reason to care... there wasn't a point in doing so.
