    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.

    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?

      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.

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

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

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

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

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

    The raising the arm was simply too much.

    The pre-show shots hit the robot especially hard.
