This is astroturfed. No one was demanding they prove the robot wasn’t human. It’s a thing the company planned to do ahead of time, and then they’ve planted this story. I’ve seen this posted several places, but I haven’t encountered anyone who was like “oh wow, I thought it was a person”

back wall falls down

I understand the need to wrap the mechanism to help keep it clean, but why no zippers or Velcro or something? From the perspective of a technician, cover panels should be easily removable for access, especially on a prototype. Cutting off the covering onstage seems… dramatic.

Also, um… why does it have boobs?

Real or not it’s comical to see wankies seething over this. But, if it was Apple telling you nothing much but “the best iPhone yet”, they’ll defend every god damn criticism of it like their identity depends on it.

Fight on about who’s more gullible, I guess.

The video suggested that people could not believe that such innovation could come from a Chinese company… No. People are skeptical of Chinese startups because so many are scams and full of shit.

Innovation can come from anywhere. A tech demo where they faked “people not believing it’s a robot” doesn’t help to reduce that well-earned reputation.

OK, now cut the remote operator open

This video shows absolutely nothing.

They’ve got the movement down, but so far robots in general are remotely operated for household chores besides just picking up stuff.

What a useless article about a short video of a guy talking over a video they didn’t record
