Back in 2009 those robots were only able to waddle around with pre-coded movement.
In 2017 Boston Dynamics made their Atlas humanoid robot that could run, jump, backflip, carry stuff and do parkour, but it was all pre-programmed.
Now we have robots that waddle around while being powered by AI that can follow instructions, and can run and do acrobatics while pre-programmed. The slow speed of these football robots and Tesla bot are not because of the motors, but because it takes long time for the multimodal LLM monstrocity brain to realise what it is doing at the current moment and what the next move should be.
There is definitely a progress, it just does not look like it that at first.
