I love this so much. I’d love to find one with sound. In the meantime I’m just watching this over and over humming the Rocky theme.
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He gets knocked down,
does not get up again
You’re never keep him up againHe sings a song that reminds him of the vodka,
he drinks a drink that reminds him of the vodka.
Initially, it walked well but people complained it looked too alien and creepy.
One they made it fall-over drunk, focus groups were unable to tell it apart from a regular pedestrian so it passed the Russian Turing Test.
Poor robo! But the guy. With the sheet. I died.
We’ve seen everything. We’ve seen it all.
They just told the robot it got drafted.
I’d almost created a new account to upvote you again
Someone’s getting defenestrated over this
The best thing Putin has done is to bring the verb defenstrate back.
Guy in the front row: “hey, walk forward the same number of steps as there are R’s in ‘resurrection’.”
The dude trying to cover it up with the piece of cloth at the end was chef’s kiss.
Total terminator thing, off to the battlefield with it. Put it in a golf cart, maybe it can leave the foot on the gas 🤣
A stagger that would have taken a human years of drinking to perfect. Very efficient. Only slightly less agile than its handlers.
Maybe it was Vladimir himself in a suit?
This has Robocop vibes…
Especially Robocop 2. I love when they show the blooper reel and the exec guy grimaces and touches his arm.
Frankly, if the thing is that untested, I’m not sure that I’d want to have the developers or the audience that close to it without shielding. And it should have a remote E-stop switch (though maybe it did here, and that’s why it froze up).
You know those Boston Dynamics videos? Unless the stuff is pretty mature, they’ve got those protective walls or are interacting with the robots with hockey sticks.
Ex:
Security? This is Russia, they sent 1000+ people to die every day for no reason lol
I mean, yeah, but that’s wartime policy. Like, most countries are willing to take more risks and accept more costs if they consider is necessary to fight a war.
But as far as I know, doing this demo successfully isn’t something that Russia needs for any kind of war purposes.
It is very much needed for their war propaganda. They need to show the citizens and the world, that despite all the sanctions they are still able to achieve and match technological advancements of the west. The war fatigue is serious issue in Russia. But obviously they failed miserably and I love that the sanctions are actually putting them behind.
It was walking so smooth untill it tripped. I’m sure a minor software patch will fix that.

Me neither.
