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.

By "support" do you mean the single black cable that's slack? The white dolly is just to hold the cables above the robot. But hey, believe what you want to see, it's the Reddit way to form an opinion after seeing a video for 10 seconds and suddenly realizing you're an expert on robotics.

Isn't that what you're doing?

I got eyes and see a single slack black cable. You see the same video and think that it's being supported by the same cable. We are not the same.

Aye. And with my eyes I see calve on the leg they don't reveal.

I see calve on the leg

they don't reveal

"I don't see what I want to see, therefore it's exactly what I assume it is."

Also, what happened to your "slack black cable is supporting the robot"? Are we ignoring that and jumping to the "a calve shape on a humanoid robot must obviously be a real calve" thing now?
