What is the point of making walking robots?
They can fly, they can crawl over the remains of buildings destroyed by bombs and earthquakes with caterpillar tracks, and they can survey the deepest ocean depths.
Walking seems a pretty inefficient objective. Did At-Ats and Scout Walkers teach nobody anything?

Ha, good point.
Although the Chinese robot's shape does give a whopping great clue.

The Chinese one is an actual human in a suit. They do this constantly, and morons believe it's real.
"omg, China is so far ahead!" etc.
CCP "slopaganda".

Literally incredible.
All I've found is the one where they cut off some stuff below the knee of one leg, then the dance student amputee walks off stage. Is there a version where they show the head and torso?

I think you should all switch off the Internet and go outside to interact with actual people.

I think you should worry more about fake robots.

Don't worry you just have to chop BOTH their legs off and you know for sure which they are
Can get awkward though in some circumstances

There's a zip running up the entire length of the costume, they could have used that to show the whole thing
but we got some Paul Daniels Magic Show shit instead.

Sounds pretty niche, amputee robot impersonator pr0n.

China does it all the time.
It's a con to lure in stupid investors. They do it in all sectors - especially building projects. They have entire towns and cities of empty shell buildings made from the weakest, cheapest materials. Investors are shown a handful of more sturdy props up close, then the "under construction" site is shown in photos/video or sometimes from afar, but never up close.
Then once they're in deep enough, the "company" goes bust and all the money is gone. Good luck bringing a lawsuit against them as an outsider.
The same happens with their technology, and the mid-wits of places like Reddit will lap it up and spread it around with their soyjack "omg look at this guys!" faces on. For example the "50 year battery" that was everywhere recently - utter nonsense. Their "robots" are the same, and completely fake and useless.
Stop watching AI-voiceover "tech videos" on YouTube, those channels are all CCP owned. You know the videos, with the slightly odd American-accent voice, with generic sounding channel names like "AI Revolution" and "TechnologyX AI".
