A “state-of-the-art” robot that appeared in a report on Russia’s main TV news channel was revealed by internet users to be a man in a costume. It presented as a dancing, singing robot at a technology forum for school pupils. “At the forum there’s the opportunity to see state-of-the-art robots,” the presenter said as the apparent automaton danced on stage. But images shared online from backstage at the event clearly showed a human inside a robot outfit, through a gap between a bodysuit and a
headpiece. WIO News
