The £3,000 (Rs 2,71,741) suit comes with a microphone and tablet display, creates a “near total illusion that before you stands a real robot".
A Robot showcased at a Russian tech show turned out to be a man dressed in a costume. News footage from the country’s state television channel showed Boris the Robot walking, talking and dancing at the tech show in Yaroslavl. Though the organisers did not pass off Boris as an actual robot, the state television featured it as a “high-tech” innovation.
According to The Guardian, Russia-24 praised the Robot and bragged about its ability to have “learned to dance”. However, a Russian website TJournal was quick to notice the flaws in the claims made by the channel. Watch the video here:
The website listed out a series of questions about the robot and its performance. They questioned why the Robot was missing its “external sensors” and was making “unnecessary movements” while dancing? However, a photograph later shared on social media showed that Boris was a man dressed in a robot suit.
