AIdol humanoid robot collapses during debut demonstration in Moscow
Russia's robotics firm AIdol unveiled a humanoid robot at a Moscow forum hosted by the New Technology Coalition. During a live demonstration, the robot took a few steps, lost its balance, and fell forward, shattering parts of its exterior casing. The company's chief executive, Vladimir Vitukhin, attributed the collapse to calibration issues and poor lighting, stating the robot is still in active testing. The robot has since been removed from public display while engineers reassess its balance systems.
