The video said it was a work in progress. You probably could design it to keep the head on as it moves, but it would be a bit complicated. You could have some kind of pole with a magnet on top up stuck inside on the inner circle, and put a magnet and a few metalplastic balls under the droids head. The magnet keeps it in place, while the balls allow it to roll across the body of the droid.
You are exactly correct. I didn't want to waste 20 minutes to find out all it was a RC ball without the head. The title of "working replica" made it sound like it was an actual working replica. I skimmed through and only saw the part where it slightly rolls out a door frame showing a head stuck in place, but nothing that shows one that constantly stays at the top.
Am I missing something, or does it not have the head?
To me, that's make makes it a BB unit rather than just a remote controlled ball.

something tells me you did not watch the video until the end
