Russia’s AI Robot Falls Seconds After Being Unveiled – Stefan Buchholz DOT com

Russia’s first AI humanoid robot, Aldol, fell just seconds after its debut at a technology event in Moscow on Tuesday. The robot was being led on stage to the soundtrack from the film ‘Rocky,’ before it suddenly lost its balance and fell. Assistants could then be seen scrambling to cover it with a cloth — which ended up tangling in the process. Developers of Aldol blamed poor lighting and calibration issues for the collapse, saying the robot’s stereo cameras are sensitive to light and the hall was dark.
