When I was young.... A 3,000kg humanoid robot trailed by 700m of cabling could take 3 steps before lighting itself on fire. And we were freaking out.
Breakdancing
America doesn't stand a chance against China... In terms of break dancing robits

Takeaway: if you're chased by a killer robot pull out a banana peel
Ngl the first save was impressive.
Can't wait to laugh at a tripping killbot before it rights itself and wastes me with a patent pending 12 hour painful death injectable
It's pretty impressive anyway. I wonder what another year of development will do?
I also prefer dancing robot to RoboCop and the firemen's robot dogs.
they do have more successful dance shows too.
It’s funny now, just wait till it’s Fortnite dancing while chasing you with a machine gun and a flaming sword.
Great, so not only do we have to fight robots for access to water, they can now emote over our broken bodies
How long until Elon teaches his to teabag?
He needs to actually build a robot first, instead of a puppet controlled by an intern.
That was one of the first things it learned.
They made a Frank Spencer robot.
Nailed the ending.
"BIG FINISH!!"
How amazing is that recovery after the first stumble?
Somewhere between more amazing than falling over and less amazing than being able to climb stairs.
Funny, but somehow that's the most fair take that I think I've heard on this video and these robots.
To be fair, I don't remember MJ being anywhere near stairs, at least not with crazy dance steps.
I can't load the video, wondering if this is the xpeng iron? Last time I saw it, that seemed like the most impressive so far.
I’m imagining most robots like this will be goose-stepping instead of dancing, so the inability to dance is probably not a big deal.
I think the dancing would probably be pretty bad for insurgency morale actually.
Apparently we stop the impending robot army by just putting up some steps at the border.
I know i dont know shit about robotics but really the absolute first thing they need to do is have a robot that can stand up after falling down. It's how humans learn to walk and it's really a prequisite to walking in general. You just shouldn't walk if you can't get up, that's why babies crawl until they learn to stand up from the floor.
Almost assuredly it can, I think it broke or went into a failsafe or something.
Sure but it didn't so assuredly it can't. Once the video of it getting up after falling up stairs then it will be assuredly it can! So we wait for the evidence, and then we can be assuredly satisfied with your assertion:)
Anthropomorphic robots belong to a trashcan
If it was me falling over the steps in a dance performance, I'd stay down after the second time too.
It did better than I woulda.
I first didn't see when the guy comes to pick up the not. So they're really short... Hmm. Let's keep it that way.
Yeah i thought it was full sized until it was picked up, I then realised the bloke who made it is just a giant
That's still pretty impressive, especially the first recovery.
Yeah that's insanely impressive.
Sure it doesn't exactly know where its feet are, but... like how many people do you know that could do 5 or 10 seconds of that?
Also the leg flailing was extremely rapid and thus comical.
8/10.
The guy missed the opportunity to moonwalk while dragging the robot out
that's impressively, better than i could
The robot was once again defeated by its arch nemesis STAIRS
The ESCALATOR is like a nuclear bomb in the robot world.
You laugh now, but you'll remember these days fondly when the robot simply fell down instead of getting up and moonwalking while spraying bullets
