The robot shown in the video seems to be custom (with a custom PCB as well). If you are new to robotics, consider a kit:
robotshop.com/productinfo.aspx?pc=RB-Ibo-51&lang=en-US (simple toy)
robotshop.com/productinfo.aspx?pc=RB-Dig-98&lang=en-US (servo motor driven)
robotshop.com/productinfo.aspx?pc=RB-Dig-99&lang=en-US (DC gear motor)
robotshop.com/productinfo.aspx?pc=RB-Plx-227&lang=en-US
and more…
