XPENG's next-gen IRON robot effectively crossed the uncanny valley, leading many to believe it was a human in a suit. In a follow-up event to prove it was a robot, He Xiaopeng had its leg skin cut open in front of a live audience. The robot then walked off... the stage.show more

It’s an amputee in a suit.

Unpopular Op: we shouldn't make robots look like people. It's difficult, creepy and inefficient. Robots should be able to go places and manage tasks that humans can't. Give 'em 10 telescoping arms, eye/cams on stalks, whatev. Proving it's not human shouldn't be necessary.

Only cut that one leg because it's a woman with a a prosthetic

Totally an amputee in a suit. So fake.

Not an amputee in a suit (stands too still for that anyway and the walk is rickety if you look closely) also this video exists

Why would you give it boobs though?

Doesn't look impressive anymore, after seeing how smooth the Optimus is on the stage

Not a woman in a suit.

Okay hear me out. I know this might sound paranoid. BUT why not cut the “skin” off both legs?

So you get a female amputee to walk around on stage...

got emmmmmmmm. it was an amputee.

If they actually wanted to prove it's not a person they should have cut the face off...what if it's someone with a prosthetic leg?

Why does it have tits?

But why does it have boobs 🤔

Lost opportunity...

Yea it’s a one legged woman

I dont give a shit about the robot. Why not give the guy a better pair of scissors?

Look robot! I don't know, bro, she didn't try hard enough to be a robot.

Designers: "don't forget to add some tiddies."

It's weird to me that they did the leg when we've had functional robotic limbs (attached to people) since at least 2014

Why does a robot need boobs China 😐 ?

Actually it's an amputee in a costume

This is not a robot it’s a human with a prosthetic … why cover the exoskeleton at all if that’s what it looks like under that fabric? 🧐

I aint buying it, its this girl

Why not design it with a flap that opens in the middle of the torso to easily prove its full of machinery. As many have pointed out this proves nothing as a human could have a prosthetic leg.

But can it do this

A cut in the head's cover showing the inside would be much more convincing.

Why does it have boobs?

Ok so it’s a person with a prosthetic leg. 😂
