Oh I thought this was a sketch when I saw it on reddit.

They come out gingerly with it between them as if they knew it was going to fall. But then why even bring it out? Then at the end someone hastily tries to draw the stage curtain but it’s tangled up. It’s really slapstick and seems choreographed.

    And that this happened with the theme from Rocky playing (a film franchise in which an American underdog beats up a Russian super-athlete), and there were broken plastic robot bits left on the floor... it really, really does seem like a comedy skit.

I assume the HN title is understated humor.

This is precisely the result I expect from a robot developed under an authoritarian regime. With regards to Putin, it's not so much that the emperor has no clothes, but that the emperor has no empire.

    Maybe you should take a look at Chinese Unitree humanoid robots. Or maybe at absent French or German bipedal robots.
