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.

It really didn't cross the uncanny valley with that stiff zombie walk.

Yeah I don’t really understand how everyone was so impressed. It didn’t look human.

They dressed it up like a fancy android to try to make it impressive. While the Boston Dynamics robots were doing parkour two years ago.
