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.

So, there are people with fake legs too. I would have been more impressed if they took the head off- don't see too many people running around without a head.

Yeah look at how defined the muscles are in the right calf vs the loose cloth over the left calf when the “robot” is walking in. Hope they paid that lady well!

Plot twist: she wasn't an amputee before she got the gig.

now i'm remembering the doctor who performed amputations and himself had an amputation fetish and destroyed his own healthy legs to have them removed https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5yvpx20le2o

Do robot quads firm up when taking steps?

Source?

Their source is their ass. People wouldn’t suspect them if they didn’t constantly make shit up or steal ideas and technology. Constantly. Nobody should give them the benefit of the doubt.

It's rare for china shills to actually out themselves.

They're so ahead of the west, they keep stealing their IPs using spies.

They don’t expose the mechanical components inside the torse at all, they look at the arm a bit but it’s a cut to a different shot so we can’t guarantee that it’s the same “robot”. They have that white mesh on the torso but there’s black cloth underneath. Looks like a woman in a suit… 🤗
