When carried to the stage by two staff to the accompaniment of the Rocky film soundtrack, the robot lost its balance and fell, leaving several parts on the stage.Video footage of the incident shows staff rushing to hide the robot behind a screen as it is pulled from the floor.
Vladimir Vitukhin, CEO of Idol, responded to this incident in a presentation session.According to him, this incident was a lesson for his company which developed the robot.
“This is real-time learning, where good mistakes turn into knowledge, and bad mistakes turn into experience,” said Vitukhin, reporting
Newsweek
, Tuesday (11/11).
The launch of AIdol actually marks Russia’s attempt to join the global race in developing humanoid robots supported by artificial intelligence (AI).The company states that the robot integrates human-like movement, object manipulation, and interaction through embedded artificial intelligence.
The incident was attributed to a calibration issue, and the company confirmed that the incident occurred during the robot’s ongoing testing phase.
Although the launch was intended to showcase advances in domestic artificial intelligence and robotics, critics on Russian social media and technology forums instead focused on the robot’s instability and the decision to introduce an unfinished prototype.
The developer responded to the criticism by saying that AIdol is powered by a 48-volt battery that can operate continuously for up to six hours and consists of 77 percent Russian-made components.The company targets Russian-made components to increase to 93 percent.
The robot is equipped with 19 servo motors, allowing it to display more than a dozen basic emotions and hundreds of micro-expressions.The silicone skin is designed to mimic human facial expressions with varying degrees of stiffness.
“This robot can smile, think, and be surprised—just like humans,” Vitukhin said during the presentation.
The robot’s developers have temporarily withdrawn the machine from public view while engineers examine its balance system and control software.They said that the robot is still in the testing phase.
