According to movies on this (http://www.dottocomu.com/b/archives/000744.html) website, it's teleoperated.

The link has got a few clips of the thing being big and menacing...

Cool stuff.

w00t I want one of those. On second thought I want two. So a friend and I could drive them down to a big parking lot and throw cars at each other.

In all seriousness this could be very useful. Not only could you use this for rescuing people, but you could use it for construction as well.
