"Dr. Ivan, it is impressive work. Much realistic! But... It can stumble, yes, but can it hit his wife?"
"No, but it most certainly tries!"
"It truly is perfect... You've really done it! Imagine the possibilities. Our villages will once again flourish with angry drunk men - after we sent them all to Ukraine, things just have not been the same."
So, if the robot behaves this way, why do you make a demo?
Why not just release a press statement about the fact that your robot is amazing, and that you can't show it yet because the army is evaluating it for spec ops or some bs?
Who saw this robot, and said "yes, this is good, let's demo this in public"?
Or perhaps the engineers knew it was not ready, but the boss said to show it?
Or some political leader that needed to impress his boss?
Such a demo is worse than it not booting up. At least you could have claimed "when it works, it is awesome. We are working on reliability".
But anyhow I must salute the ninja in the end that made everything disappear in an instant.
This is from my VERY limited understanding of russian workplace culture.
The people with the money where told all is well,
because the people with the spreadsheets where told all is well,
because they where told by the lead engineer all is well,
because the engineers said all is well,
because they need the money to be coming, and there is very little money actually coming
because every layer above them and a couple unrelated people are taking some of it for research into how to remodel their datscha, or how much the strippers love them...
This was also the expected level of functionality (and I guaranteee there is some dude in a MoCap-Suit somewhere backstage) they just expected to potemkin it better.
And if we are being honest, the only difference in all of this to any western "domestic servant" bot (so anything not coming out boston dynamics) is just the better stage design and better sleight of hand (See Steve jobs swapping through 3-4 iPhones each of which could run exactly ONE functionality they where boasting aout)
This is so good...
- The nervous engineer guy gingerly following the robot.
- The desparate rescue.
- The guy at the end who cant decide to cover the stage with the cloth, or just hide under it himself!
'The most advanced robot to date'... Seemingly does the exact same thing as terribly or worse than every other trash heap robot youve had shoved in front of your face for the past 3 years. I cant keep up with these technological leaps!
No, its legit. There are a lot of russian sources that show the robot just cut the failed part. The company is also exists and was in news for a while before that accident. I didn’t believed it myself at first as it just a little bit to embarrassing so I assumed it was staged, but no it was as real as the sky and everything in the video happened exactly as it is without any scrips.
Going by the "how much shit does it look like it have in its pants?" robot index this guy scores worse than asimo! was it designed to look like it shit itself?
The clumsy attempt to hide the aftermath while scraps are still in front of the curtain and framed by the company logos...
It just screams "cash in on the AI bubble with any premature product while you still can."
The way people are eating that shit up, they still might make some profit...
Incredible. It moves like a real Russian. Are we sure it's not just a guy in a suit again?
I mean ... you build what you know!

I think they misplaced the decimal on the vodka simulation subroutine.
True. Should have stumbled MUCH sooner.
I've feel like I've seen the inspiration for this robot in action in a Ozzy Man Russian share house video involving a staircase.
The black curtain at the end is what really makes this video lmao
They were really anticipating this outcome
But had just enough confidence to not bother practicing with the live censorship tools they brought.
The two guys following it kept jumping in anticipation of a fall. When it did fall, they missed the catch.
It runs off Vodka...
Like any true Russian.
That can't be right. I feel like it would run better if it did.
Something about the presentation and framing made me anticipate it screaming and ripping off its own head.
Or pulling out a gun and saying "Stop or I'll shoot" before blowing it's own brains out.
You have 30 seconds to comply.

Must be the sanctions 🤭
Instead of a silicone chip, they used a potato one.

Those engineers should avoid going near windows on upper floors.
I bet those are the last engineers who still left in russia tho.

Go home robot, you're drunk
YOU’RE HIGH!!
Honda Asimov in 2005?
This can't be real surely. This is just comedy gold.
Did.. did his face explode?
A beautiful piece of comedy! The curtain guy is my favorite
Keep it away from windows
And the engineers. But they'd probably send them to the frontlines as cannon fodder instead.
Already drunk
Ziz exhibit is closed!
Have they heard of Boston Dynamics?
What was the point of the black curtain at the end?
So no one will film this disgrace. Luckily, it was designed and operated by the same people as the robot.
Oh shit what’s my grandpa doing in Russia?
Probably the best video I've seen all day.
Is there logo a little 💩?
This has to be propoganda to trick the world into thinking Russia is lightyears behind on robotics... Right?
No, its legit. There are a lot of russian sources that show the robot just cut the failed part. The company is also exists and was in news for a while before that accident. I didn’t believed it myself at first as it just a little bit to embarrassing so I assumed it was staged, but no it was as real as the sky and everything in the video happened exactly as it is without any scrips.
The best part is, this too is probably a guy in a robot suit.

Here crying with laughter at the point where they bring the curtain out
First we got Mechanical Turk, now we got Mechanical Russian (true to life)
Why was he drinking before the show?
“He’ll be back.”
Biden Dynamics
Visually indistinguishable from Mitch McConnell’s fall a week ago.
Phew, at least we know that robot isn't into kids then.
