A humanoid robot’s highly anticipated debut quickly went awry when it stumbled onstage at a technology showcase in Moscow on Tuesday.
Backed by the theme song of “Rocky,” the robot, accompanied by two people, waddled onto the stage before a room full of journalists ready to catch a glimpse of what the developers called “Russia’s first anthropomorphic robot with artificial intelligence.” But in a scene resembling the end of a messy night at the bar, as the robot attempted to wave its right hand, it stumbled around before falling flat, face-first.
The two men accompanying the robot scrambled to drag it offstage, while other staff members tried to pull a black curtain across the stage to cover the blunder.

Was this the same model that stood in for Biden at public events?
I was going to guess it was the Joe Biden model.
That was funny. After all that build up ‘Getting Strong Now!’, only four steps in, the Robot is bobbing and weaving like a punch drunk Boxer, then, Down For The Count!
Maybe next time, use a Robot that is not powered by
Turnip Schnapps aka Wildschonazuer Krautinger.
Performance art demonstrating that AI robots or AI controlling anything is a sick joke? Elon will make it work though, no matter how much it bankrupts the American middle class.
The robot needs to be very careful and avoid being in upper stories of high rise buildings near open windows. Stumbles can be killers. ;-)
Vodka is to blame.
Give me a Screwdriver...
I’ll Fix It alright!
Was the robot programmed to mimic Senator John Fetterman? ❓
I’m a third one who thought of Biden when I saw that. The handlers rushing to its aid competed the picture.
Someone needs to post a GIF of the Ric Flair flop!
I unfortunately do not know how to do that.
Let see how well the robot climbs steps trying to boards an airplane...
I would advise all involved not to stand too near any windows.
Ha ha ha! A decent writer could come up with an entire screenplay based on that!
Yuppers!
Gonna guess that the people in charge of getting this robot development will be transferred to Siberia at least if they live. Putin doesn’t like embarrassment.
This just shows how the Rooskies fear cooperation with the West, and think some kind of cooperation with Iran and the Chicoms is the best way to go.
If this goes on, they will be eaten by the Chicoms and the muslims already in their territory.
The Tsars never recognized intellectual property, and Russia has been behind West ever since. Russia delights in stealing technology from the West, but can’t develop its own. This just more proof of that.
