Russia’s first humanoid AI robot fell over seconds into its official unveiling, with staff hurriedly struggling to pull a curtain across the stage to hide the fallen machine.
So realistic… It responds to vodka stimulus
It already had the moving patterns of a half bottle of Wodka
Why do people keep forcing this? Form is a necessity derived from function. These things cannot function like humans so quit making them human shaped.

To a certain degree, the ‘human’ form is indeed optimal for two legged motion.

Additionally, giving the robot features of a human-like face makes it easier for people to interact with them.

Not really. You run into the uncanny valley phenomenon if you make them too human like.
I think The Culture by Iain Banks has a good way for robots to show emotion. They use color instead. Make sure the colors are standard and it will work fine.
That’s why I wrote “features of a human-like face” (like Q3PO in Star Wars), not a look-alike copy with “skin” (like Data in Star Treck NG or the one in the article).
Hey, don’t you dare speaking bad about my childhood friend. Data is a treasure and I love him!
AND HE’S FULLY FUNCTIONAL!!! 😭
I like him either. For the lack of examples, he’s just the first example of an android with skin that came into my mind. Yet, despite he’s a robot, he’s probably too sympathic to trigger the uncanny valley phenomenon.
After thinking about that for a while, Zuck might have been the better example.
Yeah he creeps me out.
Because it’s hard to do and if you can do the thing that is hard to do you must be good at what you do and people will invest

Those guys knew it wasn’t ready for a demo.
On a software platform demo, the our presenter (VP of snakeoil or something like that) started rambling and just talking for no reason for 10-15 min. Then I checked the team chat and they was a message like “back end is down, do not click on anything. Just talk until we figure it out”.
– Did you bring the Putin Curtain?
– The what?
– The table cloth we can use to hide this thing so we don’t embarrass Mother Russia and Putin orders for all of us to fall off of a third floor window.
– oh yeah. I got it ready. Let’s goooo.
That curtain pull alone was worth the watch.
They can send 50,000 to the Ukrainian front, for use as projectiles
You couldn’t make this up.
Surely this is the tech that will save mankind
