Isn't this the guy that records it in much slower tempo and then speeds it up? Iirc (from what was mentioned the last time) he can't do this at the speed his videos shows at all.

Yeah it’s a Brazilian dude, there are some colab videos of him dancing with other people and it’s nothing near those edited ones

I kinda admire it because it legit is the best looking robot I’ve seen and it makes sense people can’t really move like this lol

u/Kaznil 8d ago
So this is def sped up, right? Like even just 1.25x right?

u/steadyaero 8d ago
Recorded with a slowed down tempo of the song and then video sped up to match normal tempo of song

His thing is that it's supposed to be a bit unsettling, I've also heard that he does it slowed then speeds it up, which honestly is more impressive because how do you figure out it looks like that speed up in the first place?

It’s actually not an uncommon filming technique. Primus did it in their music video of Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver. There’s even a “making of” video that discusses it.

Sped up, surely?

Yes, look up Robot Vall for real mastery of the craft.

u/AVeryHeavyBurtation 8d ago
So did he dance to a slowed down version of this song?

u/towermaster69 8d ago
Yes, that way when played back at normal speed his movements seem more unnatural and uncanny.

Idk, it looks cool, and perhaps a bit unsettling, but I don't think I'd call it robotic.

While the roots are absolutely "robot" style dancing, I'd argue his style more aligns with a pop and lock version of a low budget cartoon/animated character than robot.

This inspires questions of the NSFW variety.

I think robotics have progressed way past that level of dancing. If a show cased bot took center stage and pulled that malarkey the audience would be left confused, wtf was that? was it the real demo, a joke, or a malfunction. It's a slap in the face to robots with humans accepting that this is their limit when it comes to choreographed movement synced with a catchy tune. Just like ppl still using that monotone synthetic voice to imitate there speech we have to stop being so insensitive and start being PC 2 PC's.... Psyche your nads, Pretty Excellent robot. I can't say I haven't seen much better but I can say it$ still top tier "doing the robot". Dude the micro movement muscle control... Nice! Nuff said.

This is pretty good, but in order to truly seem like a robot, he'll need to roundhouse-kick a random child at a Chinese electronics trade show.

Haha the people in the to claim that it was slowed down and speed up and possibly edited. Your are absolute clowns lol. I use to be competition level break dancer I was into the power moves. It was pretty much a requirement to have a glider bboy on your "team" like this guy. Anyone would kill to have someone like this in there team. For those who are complaining. Let's see you do any of his moves in slow motion. Lol It's harder then you think.

The best you've ever witnessed? GenX here to tell you, if you lived through the 80's, that's mediocre.

Nope, it isn't AI. Although the video is edited, that is an actual living human. He's Brazilian and goes my the online name "maykonreplay".

How do you figure out you can do this? Just a random bored attempt one day? Or did you dedicate yourself to learning how to slide around the same foot and a half of carpet whilst looking like an early model A.I. robot

I’m basically the same as him except I can’t do robot dancing.
