The debut of Russia's first humanoid AI robot, 'AIdol,' at a Moscow technology conference ended in disaster after the robot stumbled and fell on stage, mimicking drunkenness. The incident was captured on video and widely shared on social media, sparking ridicule and controversy. The robot, equipped with 19 servomotors and capable of expressing over a dozen emotions, was presented as a showcase of Russian technological advancement. However, during its demonstration, 'AIdol' wobbled upon entering the stage and eventually collapsed, prompting staff to hurriedly cover the scene with a black curtain and remove the robot from view. The CEO of the company, Vladimir Vituchein, attributed the failure to calibration issues and stated the robot was still in testing. This mishap has cast doubt on Russia's progress in AI robotics, with critics questioning the country's competitiveness in this field. The incident drew sharp criticism from Russian propaganda figures, including Vladimir Solovyov, who called the robot a 'toy' and questioned the country's technological ambitions. The event's failure contrasts sharply with the initial promotional claims that 'AIdol' could smile, think, and display microexpressions, with some analysts suggesting the failure underscores the gap between Russia's ambitions and actual technological capabilities.
