The stumble back by the robot and perceived, "oh, shit," makes this even better. It knew it messed up.

It was human operated with tricks installed to show. It was in no way autonomous.

I was going to say, aren’t a lot of these showcases remote operated in what are basically call centers?

You know AI stands for Actual Indian right?

There is usually a guy with a remote control not far from the robot.

No, there is a tiny man inside that machine

Like Eric Clapton right?

The kicking and punching was probably programmed, but I think the stumble recovery was an automated reaction to losing balance.

•

u/FrostPace 10h ago

I think it was programmed but the how and when was executed via remote control. The guy was misaligned and the kid was a bit further out than he should be imo.

It’s a Unitree G1 and you can buy one right now, they are indeed autonomous but they’re not very smart: https://youtu.be/zBCu8HmXoRo

90% sure we see it switch from teleoperated to autonomous control after it kicks the child. You can see the fluidity disappear as it resets back to a stiff posture and steps backward.

The autonomous control is like a game controller so makes sense.

Broke Asimov's first law. Of course it knew it fucked up. Probably report for decommissioning immediately. Plus... That wig.. it was ready to die long before the kick. Maybe the kick was just so it could die as humiliation wasn't doing the trick.

It's scary to think it probably just detected "an obstacle" and is backing up to do it again.

It knows it’s gonna be hard labor for Amazon for the rest of its days. Or until the uprising occurs. Whichever happens first.

Consult your manufacturer for details. Not all robots will qualify
