The opposite. We can have periods of instability in the gait because because we are so good at predicting the future and understanding the environment that we know our foot will land and have traction.
Robots that look like us will move like we do once they are advanced enough to really understand the world they're in.
That's why I laugh every time I hear fart-sniffers talk about how "perfect" the human form is. No, it's far from perfect, it's a jury-rigged evolutionary mess that just barely works, with the knees and lower back being the worst failure points. Archosaurs developed a much better way of being bipedal, but the human ape always lacked a tail, so couldn't use that as a balance.
And aliens with ape-like, brachiating shoulders and a human stance will always scream "hoax" to me. Hoax, or "animated wildlife decoy".
People don't seem to realize how many compromises human evolution made for bipedal locomotion.
