0:25Now PlayingA humanoid robot’s highly anticipated debut quickly went awry when it stumbled onstage at a technology showcase in Moscow on Nov. 11.
Backed by the “Rocky” theme song, the robot waddled onto the stage before a room full of journalists ready to catch a glimpse of what the developers called “Russia’s first anthropomorphic robot with artificial intelligence.” But as the robot attempted to wave its right hand, it stumbled around before falling flat, face-first.
The two men accompanying the robot scrambled to drag it offstage, while other staff members tried to pull a black curtain across the stage to cover the blunder.
