«Breaking News» 'Hi-tech robot' called Boris shown dancing on Russian state television has been ridiculed

A Russian 'robot' that danced on live state television has been revealed as a scam.

Boris the 'hi-tech robot' was said to be capable of elaborate movements including dancing, but viewers were immediately sceptical of his smooth moves.  

It has now surfaced that the bot was actually just a costume worn by an actor and not the ultra high-tech piece of machinery it was claimed to be.

A Russian 'robot' that danced on live state television has been revealed as a scam. Boris the 'hi-tech robot' was said to be capable of elaborate movements including dancing, but viewers were immediately sceptical of his smooth moves.

Russia's humiliation comes after images surfaced online which allegedly showed a distinct lack of sensors, 'unnecessary' movements and even an image showing a human neckline in the costume.

Boris now appears to be a £3,000 ($3,800) costume called 'Alyosha the Robot' which is manufactured by a company called Show Robots.

The expensive outfit is equipped with microphones and tablet display to give the illusion of robotic apparatus but is indeed entirely controlled by a person inside. 

During the performance, which held was at the opening of a science forum in Yaroslavl, the 'robot' had even said - in an android-like voice: 'I know mathematics well but I also want to learn to draw'.

At the time, the country's most major news channel, Russia24, called it 'the country's most modern robot'.

Suspicions started circulating online about its legitimacy with people questioning where the so-called robot's sensors were located.

Others raised concerns about how the robot could speak when there were no microphones close to it.

This was despite the fact a robotic voice could be heard booming out of the speakers.

Boris also appeared much more bulky than other humanoid robots.

One Russian outlet called TJournal posted a picture of Boris from behind, clearly showing the wearer's neckline, which was shared by Yaroslavl News.

Yaroslavl News also shared the Russia24 footage during their programme, writes Oddity Central.

Russia24 has since removed the videos from its NewTube channel but has yet to issue a statement.

WHAT IS THE AUGUST UN CONVENTION ON KILLER ROBOTS?

Experts from scores of countries are meeting to discuss ways to define and deal with 'killer robots' - futuristic weapons systems that could conduct war without human intervention.

The weeklong gathering is the second this year at UN offices in Geneva to focus on such lethal autonomous weapons systems and explore ways of possibly regulating them, among other issues.

Some top advocacy groups say governments and militaries should be prevented from developing such systems, which have sparked fears and led some critics to envisage harrowing scenarios about their use.

As the meeting opened Monday, Amnesty International urged countries to work toward a ban.

Amnesty researcher on Artificial Intelligence Rasha Abdul Rahim said killer robots are 'no longer the stuff of science fiction,' warning that technological advances are outpacing international law.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
