    I don’t get why they have to be humanoid. Like, don’t we have a lot better (and more stable) ways how to make a robot that can easily move around?

      because it is a difficult endevaor and earns glory, praise and filthy money if you get it right?

      The thing is, our homes and workplaces and tools are designed for human body design and proportions. Even someone under 5ft / 150cm with a normal human body will encounter dozens of challenges a day.

      There are of course more efficient approaches, but then you’d have to reoptimise the world they’ll interact with too.

        Hmm, I guess this makes sense. I wonder if some kind of crawler with higher legs could work, so you keep the advantage of crawly legs and stability, while also keeping the proportions.

    The video is hilarious. Absurd. Like a physical comedy skit with the curtain attempt at the end.

      Thanks for pointing this out, the failed curtain call is the icing on the cake

    Even holding up a black curtain was complicated

      The humans didn’t perform significantly better than the machine.

    Why is it walking like it took a massive dump on its pants?

      I genuinely wish this had played out more like Robo-g (Japanese comedy movie).

      Same basic situation, but one showed a lot more creativity. ;)

      The robot designers better stay clear from any window (maybe the curtain guys as well as)

    The pre-show shots hit the robot especially hard.
