Ex-Robots Called Out - Women in Robot Suits Spotted at World Robot Conference 2024 in Beijing

Ex-Robots Called Out for Imposter Humanoids at World Robot Conference: Viral videos from the 2024 World Robot Conference in Beijing surprised viewers with the robots displayed by Chinese company Ex-Robots looking uncannily real. Then a picture surfaced showing one of the cosplayers apparently hired by Ex-Robots eating lunch. Followed by footage of the women with a makeup artist. Many believe presenting humans as robots, even for marketing purposes, is misleading. They argue it creates false impressions about robotic capabilities, affecting investment and research. They question whether buzz generated justifies deceptive practices. Others argue it was obvious they were humans so there wasn't intent to mislead. They see it as performance art or entertainment, where the spectacle, not the tech, is the focus. #humanoidrobot #airobot #chinatechnology #robotics #industry40 #animatronics #china #chinatechnology #wrc2024 #humanoid #artificialintelligence #ainews #ai #exrobots #uncannyvalley #uncanny #lifelike
