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.

They just told the robot it got drafted.

The dude trying to cover it up with the piece of cloth at the end was chef's kiss.

Someone's getting defenestrated over this

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 again

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.

EDIT: Actually, looking at the Russian video again, I think that the AIdol people don't have a remote E-stop button and were instead fumbling around with one built onto its back there, since that's when it stopped moving.

Are we at the stage where nation states show they TOO have an army of robots in a new arms race?

Poor robo! But the guy. With the sheet. I died.

We’ve seen everything. We’ve seen it all.

So telling how it kept walking after it was lying face down. No proprioception, no mems feedback, of course, you could tell that from the shuffle.

At best it seems like AI driving a remote control car :/

Lol. The way both men trailed it makes it clear they were very much expecting this to happen

Yeah, a lot of people probably thought everything was fine and didn't even seen the gaff thanks to the curtain guy's quick thinking.

I do wonder if they should first work on an Ai driven automated curtain though before making the next AIDOL, you really can't trust that every curtain guy will have such catlike Reflexes.

Guy in the front row: "hey, walk forward the same number of steps as there are R's in 'resurrection'."

Looked like it had quite a few drinks before going on stage 😆

Vodkabot.

Aidol? Really?

That could have gotten embarrassing if they hadn't had those two guys ready to smoothly cover the stage with a curtain. Close call!

Video doesn't load for me.

Matushka, can we have robots at home?

No, we already have robots at home.

Robots at home:

Total terminator thing, off to the battlefield with it. Put it in a golf cart, maybe it can leave the foot on the gas 🤣

You don’t crush the robot revolution, in Russia the robot revolution crushes you, apparently by falling on you.

It was walking so smooth untill it tripped. I'm sure a minor software patch will fix that.

Did the AI submit a call to Life Alert!?

Anyone have a link where I can watch this without allowing the website and their 194 partners access to my info?
