Footage shows the moment Russia's first anthropomorphic robot, AIdol, fell just seconds after its debut at a technology event in Moscow.

The robot was being led on stage to the soundtrack from the film 'Rocky', before it suddenly lost its balance and fell. Assistants could then be seen scrambling to cover it with a cloth - which ended up tangling in the process.

ROFLMAO

1. Vowing not to be upstaged, Mr trump announces his next failure will be even more spectular

The most beautiful miserable failure in the world is now on America's schedule of events. Again.

[GreenWave]

10. Keep 'em coming torchlight!

[BlueKota]

18. I was just going to ask if they modeled it

after tsf or a drunk Pete H?

[johnp3907]

2. Too much vodka.

[FakeNoose]

3. At least we know it wasn't a guy in a robot costume

[twodogsbarking]

4. How much does it cost to make a robot that just lays on the floor?

[BlueKota]

19. Possible Obstacle?

Maybe it can be used to trip people whom they don't like? 😝

[twodogsbarking]

21. They named it Trump. Can't go up an escalator or stairs.

[BlueKota]

22. 🤣

[ananda]

5. Wow, those were just kids trying to manage all that.

That was weird.

[Talitha]

6. Pay no attention to that robot behind the curtain...

[ForgoTheConsequence]

7. Hope the robot stays away from any high rise windows.

[Angleae]

8. I see the russians are still living up to the same low standards as usual.

[Buns_of_Fire]

9. The robot was obviously "provoking" Poots. That cannot be tolerated.

So, to show the world the awesome power he commands, Poots will now proceed to obliterate Moscow with his zillion-mph ICBM which will explode on the launching pad.

I spent years of my childhood ducking and covering for this?

[RoadRunner]

11. Somebody gunna' fall out that window tonight

[SWBTATTReg]

12. Ehhh, the whole concept of Russian AI, and logic does not compute.

[LiberalLovinLug]

13. At least it wasn't a man in a robot suit like they had done previously

[reACTIONary]

14. The thing was unstable even before it gobbled, and....

.... parts broke off in the fall.

Reminds me of TSF hobbling around.

[COL Mustard]

16. I walk better than that

Stone cold drunk!

[COL Mustard]

15. C3PO it ain't.

It looks like Russian AI works about as well has Russian military hardware.

[Borogove]

17. Typical Russian.

[Crowman2009]

20. A lot of corners must have been cut in order for the robot company oligarchs to buy another swiss chalet.

[BootinUp]

23. If they declined to participate

They probably would’ve been executed.

[ChicagoTeamster]

24. Like the Russian TV Studio in SCTV

Today is Russia (a spoof on Russia Today)

[Pinback]

31. So funny - thanks

And so cool to see the SCTV stalwarts in their early days.

[sakabatou]

25. *laughs in Neuro-sama*

[Figarosmom]

26. And the there was a mass falling from windows of all the techs and designers

Of said robot.

[Blue Owl]

27. The Vladiator 3000

Orange ass-polisher sold separately

[meow2u3]

28. Artificial intelligence, or in the Russkie's case, the lack thereof

[Emrys]

29. So the crew presenting it had the foresight to have a large black screen cloth handy in the wings

to cover up in case of mishaps, but didn't plan well enough to make sure it wasn't tangled so badly that by the time they'd stretched it across the stage, what was left of Metal Mikhail had already been swept up and dragged offstage, presumably to AI Gulag.

Me, I'd have been more inventive. When Mikhail took his tumble, they should have crawled onstage and started breakdancing to keep him company.

[LudwigPastorius]

30. A mindless, unstable manikin that is being manipulated by a Russian behind the curtain?

Is it called the Trumpbot3000?

[sdfernando]

32. Too much wodka can do that! 🍸

[Blumancru]

33. Putin put polonium in its hydraulic fluid?
