New Russian high tech robot turns out to be man in suit
Robot Boris was launched this week at the Russian state-sponsored event where the robot was seen dancing and moving in very human-like fashion.
A picture was published on social media that showed the neck of a person was clearly visable, placing doubt into the authenticity of the robot.
It has now been revealed that the the robot is in fact a 250,000 ruble (£2,975) costume called Alyosha the Robot, made by a company called Show Robots.
Damn. Thought I might be able to get the wife a dancing partner for Christmas. Maybe next year.
