During a planned unveiling in Moscow, Russia, the first Russian anthropomorphic robot, designated ‘AIDOL’, experienced a significant malfunction. The robot unexpectedly fell during the demonstration, impacting the stage and causing minor damage. The incident occurred shortly after the event’s commencement, and the robot’s operators were immediately alerted. Preliminary reports indicate the cause of the fall is currently under investigation. The robot’s initial presentation was largely focused on its capabilities and design, though the incident has understandably generated some concern within the robotics community.
