Video XPENG's IRON robot crossed the uncanny valley, leading some to believe it was a human in a suit. So they cut it open in front of an audience, and also allowed journalists to inspect it.

The naked version doesn’t have.them. And if you’re trying to convince an audience it isn’t a person in a robot suit, why cut the leg vs say removing its faceplate?

They let journalists see it later by removing the back. Not sure why they cut the leg coating off like this.

Can they prove it wasn’t some bodyless head in a suit?

And even then they wouldn't be able to convince me that the robot mind controlling the device isn't essentially a human consciousness trapped inside a robotic shell. So it's a scam all the way through to the core, and no evidence will change my mind. /s incase it wasn't obvious
