"Don't try to run before you can walk - or walk before you can stand. One of Russia's first humanoid robots, known as AIDOL, toppled over in front of a crowd in Moscow during its reveal on Tuesday as "Gonna Fly Now," the theme song from the movie "Rocky," played in the background. A Moscow news agency posted the video of the robot's fall after the incident."
"The company, a Russian startup called Artificial Intelligence Dynamic Organism Lab, or AIDOL, like the robot's name, posted a statement to Telegram on Thursday in response to the media attention. "We know that many are worried about the robot's condition.It's in good hands, and we'll do everything possible to help it recover soon As they say - stay tuned." It then posted a follow-up video on Thursday showing AIDOL in recovery mode - a bandage on its nose and a wrap on its head. "My team is already giving me a drip of pure electricity and cleaning the lenses on my cameras, so I can see better and handle the attention of a dozen camera flashes," the robot says in the video."
"Humanoid robots have become a top investment category as companies like Tesla, which manufactures a 5-foot-8 humanoid robot known as Optimus, and Figure, which develops a humanoid robot named Helix, build machines to augment or even replace the human labor force."
