I dunno about Michael Jackson, but he's perfected the drunk uncle at a wedding.

That's still pretty impressive, especially the first recovery.
Which makes the poor thing dying at the end very unsettling.
So many people are talking and so focused on AI that everyone's been missing the robotics.
My husband has been showing me videos every week of robots from Japan, China, etc. Robotics has advanced insanely fast last few years.
Meh. Hard to feel excited about it. Humanoid robotics absolutely will not be beneficial for humanity in the current socioeconomic system. Best case is it spies on us and subverts democracy, worst case is it skullfucks people in impoverished nations to steal their land and resources.

Can’t annihilate the human race without Cylons.
That was my thought. Like actually very close to making it through the recovery

Witty comments like these belong to the few reasons I still log onto the Web from time to time.
At first I was like "Oh shit, it didn't completely eat shit on the stairs" and then it ended up completely eating shit the second time it got near the stairs. 🤣
The long pause where its just laying there with the lights still going and whatnot just sends me for some reason.

"You know, I was Dancing Robot Michael Jackson once."
"Yes, I saw. You were doing well until you flopped around and died."
Ended up in the peter griffin fall pose.
Robby are you ok, are you ok Robby!?
Why did they let it dance so close to the steps? Was it supposed to walk up?
Nah, the routine was not supposed to veer in that direction. Everyone lauding this as a win do not understand how simple these robots are.
This was supposed to be nothing but a vapid PR event that sold an image that is still not possible by consumer-grade robotics.

I’m pretty sure the step was part of the original routine.
Oh no, STAAAAAAAAAAAIRS -- Claptrap
the comedic timing is simply impeccable
Tripping.
That's going to be a very nice robot army. 🤣
The way its head tilts forward after the first stumble, it almost makes it look embarrassed. Very nearly made me feel bad for laughing as hard as I did.
where is the blanket of shame they used in a similar situation in Russia
Poor thing was staired to death.
You know Michel Jackson was good when even the Chinese can't make a knock-off of him.
Well it danced like him on propofol...
I cannot wait for my boss to try to replace me with one of these.
/s
That was still impressive, I can't do it better.
I'm reporting this because I'm in this video and I don't like it 🤣
Don't let it near the kids
That is pure gold! Also way better than I can do, lol.
