Russia’s much-hyped humanoid robot face-plants onstage during debut
Washington Post via MSN | 13 November 2025 | Naomi Schanen, Natalia AbbakumovaA humanoid robot’s highly anticipated debut quickly went awry when it stumbled onstage at a technology showcase in Moscow on Tuesday.
Backed by the theme song of “Rocky,” the robot, accompanied by two people, waddled onto the stage before a room full of journalists ready to catch a glimpse of what the developers called “Russia’s first anthropomorphic robot with artificial intelligence.” But in a scene resembling the end of a messy night at the bar, as the robot attempted to wave its right hand, it stumbled around before falling flat, face-first.
The two men accompanying the robot scrambled to drag it offstage, while other staff members tried to pull a black curtain across the stage to cover the blunder.
It was the funniest Russian comedy act I’ve seen in years.
Was the face-planting an accident or was the robot mocking Biden? 🤔
Have the Pelosi family adopt it. It will blend.
Put a diaper on it, remove the AI and call it a successful Joe Biden simulator.
It’s a false flag! They already have robots walking among us, smelling of borscht and vodka…

The AI has clearly advanced to the point that it has recognized something that every union worker knows. It only takes a few dropped plates before they stop asking you to wash the dishes.
Put it in uniform, send it to Ukraine to fight in the war. After all it couldn’t do any worse than the North Koreans.
