XPENG's IRON robot crossed the uncanny valley, leading some to believe it was a human in a suit. So they cut it open in front of an audience, and also allowed journalists to inspect it.

[u/MetaKnowing]

[u/softteasse]

So boobs when dressed, no boobs when undressed. So robots wear padded bras too now?

[u/majandess → u/softteasse]

It's in case they fall forward. Extra padding. /s

[u/Plenty-Vegetable-640 → u/majandess]

You’re jesting, but that would be a very smart way to pad them without making them awkward/less human like

[u/Jat616 → u/Plenty-Vegetable-640]

Sod that, give them a mattress chest! Enough robots in circulation would mean we'd never be without a comfy seat again! We could revolutionise napping!!!

[u/fanatic111 → u/Jat616]

Never thought obesity could be possible in humanoid robots.

[u/Jat616 → u/fanatic111]

Marshmallow bots, roll out!

[u/yeah_this_is_my_main → u/Jat616]

Marshmallow bots, roll out!

*destroys city*

"Aww they are so chubby"

[u/Jonnnnnnnnn → u/majandess]

This is the only logical explanation I have read so far

[u/woahdailo → u/Jonnnnnnnnn]

It’s because human males want to fuck a robot

[u/FuManBoobs → u/woahdailo]

Stay away from my wife.

[u/DanDabbinDaily → u/Jonnnnnnnnn]

We all know the first thing every guy is gonna use this for...

[u/katiecake → u/softteasse]

I have no boobs yet I must scream

[u/wf3h3 → u/katiecake]

I have no idea why your comment is so funny, and maybe I don't need one.

[u/chrhe83 → u/wf3h3]

Yeah it is a horrific short story… “I have no mouth, but I must scream”

[u/ruat_caelum → u/softteasse]

If you don't think that sex robots are going to be a major selling point you haven't met humanity.

[u/garlen-raven]

For a second , I thought that's a Frieza cosplay

[u/Highlord-Frikandel → u/garlen-raven]

I am so glad i'm not the only one

[u/conciouscarrot → u/Highlord-Frikandel]

Me three 🤣

[u/MSRFan2011 → u/conciouscarrot]

I legit thought the same way when i saw that post.

[u/GlitterKittyCat → u/garlen-raven]

Frieza wouldn't enjoy being cut open by those filthy monkeys

[u/icecubepal → u/GlitterKittyCat]

Frieza is everyone’s favorite racist.

[u/hadronwulf → u/icecubepal]

You can’t be racist against a race that doesn’t exist!

[u/Chimpbot → u/hadronwulf]

"I don't hate Saiyans anymore. I killed 'em all, so what's the point?"

[u/godzillafiend54 → u/GlitterKittyCat]

I'm sure he wasn't happy when Trunks did it.

[u/Tactless_Ninja → u/garlen-raven]

Mag from Warframe.

[u/th3BeastLord → u/Tactless_Ninja]

Oh man it REALLY looks like Mag.

[u/Exceedingly → u/garlen-raven]

That's not even its final form!!

[starts screaming for 2 hours straight]

[u/syoleen → u/garlen-raven]

Because it is

[u/Nokxtokx]

Why does it look like Frieza?

[u/Shinitai-dono → u/Nokxtokx]

It's a future reference to the fact that robots are going to blow up the planet in 8 episodes.

[u/migi_chan69420 → u/Shinitai-dono]

You mean 80

[u/avolans → u/migi_chan69420]

5 more minutes untill this planet blows

[u/A_Nonny_Muse → u/avolans]

That IS 8 episodes.

[u/wildfire98 → u/Nokxtokx]

"WHY AREN’T THE GINYU’S RESPONDING?!"

[u/RddtRBnchRcstNzsshls → u/wildfire98]

"Oh they're dead..."

"WHY ARE THEY DEAD?!"

[u/Jeff-Uh-Uh-Goldblum → u/RddtRBnchRcstNzsshls]

"...oh no you fucking don't!"

Can't wait to fight one of these for access to clean drinking water

[u/UrMomThinksImCoo → u/MajorlyCynical]

“User, your Nestle+ subscription has expired. Turn around or face deactivation.”

[u/Reylun → u/UrMomThinksImCoo]

What's she going to do to them once they turn around?

[u/Menonomeno → u/Reylun]

What are you doing step-robot?

[u/zdy132 → u/Reylun]

Yeah it's a paid subscription service to view the termination at the front, which no one present paid for.

[u/tinygraysiamesecat → u/MajorlyCynical]

You won’t be fighting these. You’ll be fighting a fleet of autonomous drones laden with 3 pounds of C4 and ball bearings. 

[u/Incorrect-Opinion → u/tinygraysiamesecat]

Yeah, the future of drone warfare is pretty scary.

It’s basically already here, but it’s gonna get even crazier.

[u/DegenerativeDisorder → u/MajorlyCynical]

Bold of you to assume we aren't losing when already giving it a hourglass build

[u/Upset-Government-856 → u/MajorlyCynical]

It's got tits. I think they have a different plan for how they'll take over.

[u/asking_for_it]

OF COURSE it has boobs. So it can breastfeed all the baby robots it’s gonna have.

[u/Viperlite → u/asking_for_it]

The naked version doesn’t have.them. And if you’re trying to convince an audience it isn’t a person in a robot suit, why cut the leg vs say removing its faceplate?

[u/TactlessTortoise → u/Viperlite]

Could always be a paid dullahan pretending to be a robot.

[u/Harp-Note → u/TactlessTortoise]

Celty?

[u/doubleamobes → u/Harp-Note]

Unexpected Durarara is the best

[u/Darkrocmon_ → u/Harp-Note]

Just finished re-watching, such a good anime.

[u/BluetheNerd → u/Viperlite]

Yeah when I read they cut open the suit to prove I thought it would be like, the whole thing, torso and all. Just a leg, below the knee when a lot of amputees have prosthetics that help them walk, is a bit sus.

The demonstration without the suit also has a harness in case it falls over, which I get you want during testing so you don't wreck a prototype you've been working on for that long, but the only time we see it without the harness is when it isn't actually proven to not be a person in a suit.

[u/Xentonian → u/BluetheNerd]

It's actually crazy to me what a terrible job they've done at assuaging suspicions.

If somebody just showed me a robot walking, I'd be like

Yup, it's 2025. This isn't very impressive. I thought we had these for a while. Good job though, love the robo boobs.

Y'know, I'd easily be 100% convinced this was a robot without needing even one second of reassurance.

Instead, they keep showing these little meaningless cutaways like

seee! Here's a robot ankle. People in suits can't have robot ankles! Look, here's 5cm of its back with a little flashing light. No way could a human being have a plate with a flashing light on their back. What do you mean just take off the suit? No... No need to do that. Trust us. The journalists saw it! They said it was real! Wait wait wait here's the bottom half without a suit, please ignore the giant device holding it up with puppeteering strings!

And now I'm only... 70% sure this is a robot.

[u/b__q → u/Xentonian]

I think it's good marketing tbh. The fact that people still believes it's a human in a suit makes them go like "see! this robot is that convincing!"

Also more people is talking about it.

[u/Xentonian → u/b__q]

What a scam hahaha. You're probably right.

[u/Apprehensive_Eraser → u/BluetheNerd]

There's another video where they show the back

[u/Ragnarsworld → u/Apprehensive_Eraser]

Yeah, they show a plastic/metal plate with a light blinking. That could easily be just a plate with a light affixed to someone's back.

[u/moritashun → u/Ragnarsworld]

like , i want to believe them, but the way they 'debunk' any accusation just create more sus. Like they are cautiously slow when revealing , and even when they reveal the back, they show very little and only for a very little time, it feels like magician showing you something at a certain angle, or a child lying to you.

[u/eirc → u/Apprehensive_Eraser]

These videos are only increasing my suspicions. At first I was not suspicious at all. I find it very plausible that human walking can be recreated on a machine.

Then they're like "we'll prove it's real" and cut off half a leg under the knee. There's plenty of amputees or short people that can walk. Then they cut the back and show a half blurry video that just shows a couple surface level blinking lights. Again a human can definitely fit in there with all that tech behind them. Then there's the naked version video that only shows the bottom part of the robot, which could easily be hanging from a "puppeteering" device up above. And also there's the dozens of similar reddit posts with the same kind of titles.

I'll just reserve judgement for a bit.

[u/Vast-Seesaw-4956 → u/eirc]

It's true. I'm short and can still walk.

[u/Mdub74 → u/eirc]

As sus as you seem to be, when you mentioned 'they only show the bottom part of the robot' i thought you were going to say 'there are plenty of amputees that could pull that off' and my big toeless MIL would laughed and laughed 😅

[u/Bravardi_B → u/eirc]

Yeah what seems odd to me is the way it steps on the left leg that they expose. Seems to step just like a person with an amputated lower leg. 

[u/Aliman581 → u/eirc]

i mean boston dynamics has shown far superior capabilities so even if its true its not really impressive

[u/FloppySlapper → u/BluetheNerd]

They also only show one leg, not both. When they slightly pulled up the one pant leg but not the other, that was my first thought. And in the previous video where they show the back, they only open the suit far enough to show the most narrow region of the back. It's not the sort of demonstration you give when you're trying to show something, it's the sort of demonstration you give when you're trying to hide something.

Magicians doing stage shows show more of their tricks than this.

[u/FartBrick1 → u/BluetheNerd]

The comment about the amputees was my very first thought.

[u/Kunzite_128 → u/Viperlite]

SecUnits don't like having their face exposed. ;)

[u/Strangefate1 → u/Viperlite]

Because a baby yoda could still be controlling it, hidden in the torso.

[u/AnInanimateCarb0nRod → u/Strangefate1]

Or Arquilian royalty inside the head.

[u/justwalk1234 → u/Viperlite]

Intentional. They’ve learned how to rage bait trolls from Reddit

[u/Viperlite → u/justwalk1234]

I for one feel no animosity towards our future robot overlords.

[u/davidjschloss → u/Viperlite]

They let journalists see it later by removing the back. Not sure why they cut the leg coating off like this.

[u/hexitor → u/davidjschloss]

Can they prove it wasn’t some bodyless head in a suit?

[u/Coneyy → u/hexitor]

And even then they wouldn't be able to convince me that the robot mind controlling the device isn't essentially a human consciousness trapped inside a robotic shell. So it's a scam all the way through to the core, and no evidence will change my mind. /s incase it wasn't obvious

[u/Sad_Independent9520 → u/asking_for_it]

Do androids dream of electric tits?

[u/Think_please → u/Sad_Independent9520]

I have no mouth, and I must jiggle

How else would we know it was a woman robot?

[u/Myrrmidonna → u/DogAlienInvisibleMan]

"Put a pink bow on it" TM ?

[u/Alpha_james → u/asking_for_it]

i came to comments to ask why it had boobs lol glad im not the only one who thought it was weird

[u/iSpaYco → u/asking_for_it]

worst thing happening with robotics is trying to make it human...

just make it BETTER, get rid of the bad stuff, like the legs...

[u/Regular-Engineer-686 → u/iSpaYco]

There’s actually 2 very good reasons why they make robots look like humans:

1. Technical
2. Psychological

See, the world around us is built for humans. Robots have to open up cabinets, doors, walk upstairs, put clothes in the washer and dryer - all things that are built for the average human to actually do.

And then the second thing is psychological. We identify with things that look like us - even animals. We identify with animals because they typically have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. The more they make robots look like humans, the less scared that we will actually be because we can identify with what we're looking at.

[u/ManaSpike → u/Regular-Engineer-686]

Arthur C Clark used to think we'd have an android in our kitchen cooking meals.

Instead we have industrial kitchen / production lines producing thousands of pre-prepared meals you can pickup at your local store.

"The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."

[u/lookingforsomeerrors → u/iSpaYco]

Yess! Also, why keep the same limitations like arms and head and legs rotating 360•, why keep the knees and not add multiple joints...

[u/tyro_r → u/iSpaYco]

What's better than legs?

[u/Extreme_Design6936 → u/BenathonWrigley]

Boobs and tentacles? Where are we going with this?

[u/Far_Mastodon_6104 → u/Extreme_Design6936]

Breasticles

[u/Pokesabre → u/tyro_r]

From an engineering standpoint wheels, tracks, crab legs, etc, are all far better than human bipedal motion as they're all far more stable. The human walk cycle is effectively a series of controlled falls

[u/rawfish71 → u/Pokesabre]

I accept any of the far more stable options, as long as it has boobs

[u/rationalcunt → u/iSpaYco]

Yeah where are the robots with a bunch of useful appendages and multiple ways to transport itself? As a human I would love more arms to do stuff with. If they need inspo, octopuses are right there.

[u/HungryGlizzyGobbler → u/rationalcunt]

They should have a pincher arm, a flamethrower/torch arm, and a buzzsaw arm.

[u/PotatoPowerPlug → u/asking_for_it]

No, that's where they hide the rocket launcher.

[u/TechTechOnATechDeck → u/PotatoPowerPlug]

[u/chaos_chimp → u/asking_for_it]

That is how you know the engineers are all men. 🧐

I’m waiting for the next one to come out and have a massive dong. Check mate boys!

[u/VermilionKoala]

"You're about as useful as tits on a robot" is my new favourite insult 🤣

G'day mate!

[u/Tyrinnus → u/VermilionKoala]

Good Eye Might

[u/ricardortr → u/VermilionKoala]

I can absolutely guarantee that someone out there is gonna use those

[u/Raherin → u/VermilionKoala]

I dunno, they looked pretty useful on the fembots from Austin Powers.

[u/DanceDelievery]

It really didn't cross the uncanny valley with that stiff zombie walk.

[u/petty_throwaway6969 → u/DanceDelievery]

It looks like they modeled it off the old GTA hooker walk. You know what they made this clanker for…

[u/privatetudor → u/petty_throwaway6969]

Not enough exaggerated hip movement.

[u/Bard_the_Bowman_III → u/privatetudor]

Yeah but it had some hip movement which is the first I've seen on one of these lol

[u/sump_daddy → u/petty_throwaway6969]

THANK YOU i knew i recognized that walk posture from somewhere, couldnt quite place it though

[u/Radmiel → u/petty_throwaway6969]

Man, this pin point reference, lmao.

[u/beepborpimajorp → u/DanceDelievery]

Yeah, to cross the uncanny valley doesn't it actually have to look convincingly human without appearing soulless?

This is decidedly not that, even with them sticking boobs on it for some reason.

[u/ratchetmagn3t → u/DanceDelievery]

Fr how she walking smooth and hard on her knees at the same time 🥴

[u/majandess → u/DanceDelievery]

The feet don't bend. It has to do a weird foot motion to get around that.

[u/Fullertonjr → u/majandess]

This is where people fail to understand or comprehend all of the fine micro adjustment that occur effortlessly in your toes and tendons in your feet that allow you to move smoothly.

[u/bigboybeeperbelly → u/majandess]

That's what my physical therapist said on our first day

[u/Divided_Against → u/DanceDelievery]

Asimo did the same a generation ago

[u/Young_Former → u/DanceDelievery]

Yeah I don’t really understand how everyone was so impressed. It didn’t look human.

[u/buttbuttlolbuttbutt → u/Young_Former]

It walking that well is impressive, our body is doing a lot to balance and its not easy, there's a lot of on the fly processing that we do inherently since we got the hang of it before memory.... there's a lot of on the fly processing so that is impressive.

But the title is exagerating by and far, its still uncanny, mechanical, and comes off like some amatur Steam Powered Giraffe wannabe.

[u/Cranky_Hippy → u/buttbuttlolbuttbutt]

Look how much better Boston Dynamics "humanoid" walk is: https://youtu.be/I44_zbEwz_w?si=WuoPFbF2RAGodkMx

XPeng's robot is really not impressive at all. It just looks female with boobs, that's it's only appeal.

[u/ShareYourIdeaWithMe → u/Cranky_Hippy]

Yeah the xpeng one looks underdamped and jittery

[u/hoax1337 → u/Cranky_Hippy]

Yeah, it's always funny to me when these companies unveil their shiny new humanoid robot, celebrating themselveslike Boston Dynamics didn't exist and didn't do the same thing (probably better) 5 years ago or something.

[u/KingR3aper → u/Young_Former]

In a previous post people are tripling down its a person with prosthetics.

[u/Patello → u/KingR3aper]

In my opinion, all this insisting that it must be a human seems very manufactured; as if it all is some form of elaborate marketing campaign. It's very impressive, but also in line with what would be expected from state of the art robotics.

[u/AlmostSunnyinSeattle → u/DanceDelievery]

Right. Maybe if we're reference someone who just had back surgery...

[u/Puzzled_Employee_767 → u/DanceDelievery]

It has the gait of an 80 year old with arthritis

[u/Character-Reply407]

So, there are people with fake legs too. I would have been more impressed if they took the head off- don't see too many people running around without a head. 

[u/TheZYX → u/Character-Reply407]

Two dwarves in a trench coat

[u/geogle → u/TheZYX]

Or three kids in a trench coat

[u/Wilkassassyn → u/geogle]

maybe even 3 kobolds

[u/Gswindle76 → u/Character-Reply407]

Why not just add a zipper to the suit? I’m unimpressed with what could be a prosthetic leg.

[u/CarterDee → u/Character-Reply407]

Yeah look at how defined the muscles are in the right calf vs the loose cloth over the left calf when the “robot” is walking in. Hope they paid that lady well!

[u/Cinnamonstone]

Why does it need boobs yet no face? These things are mega creepy .

[u/Y-Bob → u/Cinnamonstone]

It won't be long until it's encased in hyper realistic silicone I'm sure.

[u/LipGlossBoost79 → u/Y-Bob]

With realistic fleshy and functional but dishwasher safe orifices

[u/its_all_4_lulz → u/Cinnamonstone]

Videos of this have been posted a few times in the last few days and the comments are all about boobs, or it’s a person in a robot suit. That said, if it didn’t have boobs the comments would all be about how it’s going to kill us. I think that’s the answer.

Boobs: people are going to fuck it.

No boobs: this is going to fuck people

[u/PeculiarArtemis14 → u/its_all_4_lulz]

aand that’s a wrap on how unconscious sexism affects us

[u/TactlessTortoise → u/Cinnamonstone]

Because tits. Imagine the mind boggling amount of money having dick gobbling robots would generate. First company to make a minimal upkeep robot that can you just tell to go dyson vacuum mode with a phone app and cleans itself after will beat Nvidia's market cap.

[u/god_is_my_father → u/TactlessTortoise]

Where can I preorder this dick gobbling robot?

[u/BigbooTho → u/TactlessTortoise]

I'll stick with my lightly microwaved pineapple thank you very much

[u/Big-Specific-7851 → u/Cinnamonstone]

Faces are extremely hard because of the uncanny valley, this just humanizes it without having to invest in a full face.

[u/mactep66 → u/Cinnamonstone]

Boobs are easy, faces aren’t.

[u/Brief-Floor-7228]

Why is everyone so impressed with something Boston Dynamics did (without fake boobs) years ago. Including stair climbs, flips, running, dancing and climbing scaffolding.

[u/Oxygenisplantpoo → u/Brief-Floor-7228]

The company has a great social media team. I've seen quite a few posts all with the same headline "Look, they even took the skin off to show that it's not a human!" and nothing about what it can actually do other than walk (ooh wee Honda did that like 20+ years ago, janky, sure, but this ain't remarkable either). They are probably looking for funding.

[u/fothergillfuckup]

Boobs?

[u/Drtikol42 → u/fothergillfuckup]

That is where the laser cannons will go in the future.

[u/Airurando-jin → u/Drtikol42]

Austin powers is about to predict the future 

[u/Personal_Comb_6745 → u/Drtikol42]

Send in the femBOTTTTTS!!!

[u/modsguzzlehivekum → u/fothergillfuckup]

Everyone has mentioned this and all seem to think it’s about suggesting it makes it more fuckable or whatever. It just occurred to me that they likely did it to make it seem less threatening. “It’s a girl robot so I can probably control it if it gets out of hand and it totally won’t rip my arms off and use them to beat my kids with”

[u/MonsieurFubar → u/fothergillfuckup]

And butts

[u/lego_not_legos → u/MonsieurFubar]

Ballast.

[u/Lostboxoangst]

I don't buy it if they wanted to prove it wasn't some one in suit the easiest thing would have been to pop the visor, no that was an amputee in a suit.

[u/rikusorasephiroth → u/Lostboxoangst]

Or open the torso to show the internal mechanisms.

[u/MechaZain]

Do y'all remember the Tesla bot unveiling that was just a man dancing in a spandex bodysuit

[u/GeorgeWPS2T]

Step by step to the terminator 😁

[u/Diacetyl-Morphin → u/GeorgeWPS2T]

I can still hear Arnie with his austrian accent "Living human tissue over the exoskeleton!!".

But, this would actually be a step more, like when robots get better and then you replace such outer things like latex skin with real human tissue.

[u/Airurando-jin → u/Diacetyl-Morphin]

There’s some bits around terminator 3 , can’t remember if it was an outtake extra on the dvd, but it shows arnie as the soldier who would be the inspiration for the appearance of the terminator, I’ll see if i can find it..

Found it, the Sargant candy scene

https://youtu.be/kayFrIR-Qfw?si=VnVxdcyQQy7qRMvU

[u/RddtRBnchRcstNzsshls → u/Diacetyl-Morphin]

Over a metal endoskeleton*

Exoskeleton means the skeleton is on the outside.

[u/GeorgeWPS2T → u/Diacetyl-Morphin]

And that's the point where skin could be "grown"(good ending) or taken (bad ending) 😁

[u/ill_Refrigerator420]

Why are we doing this again?

[u/Kotanan → u/ill_Refrigerator420]

Robot bodyguards to protect the rich in their bunkers and private islands.

[u/John-Crypto-Rambo]

Does it do anything but walk?  I mean walking is cool but for a robot to be useful it needs to actually do something with its hands.

[u/gdubh → u/John-Crypto-Rambo]

We know what you mean.

[u/Suddenfury → u/gdubh]

Are you, by chance, a pleasure model?

[u/Ray229harris → u/Suddenfury]

I know what kind of man you are

[u/hcombs → u/John-Crypto-Rambo]

Hmmmm

[u/NombreCurioso1337]

It's a lady with a prosthetic leg.

[u/PeaInfamous9144 → u/NombreCurioso1337]

When entering the stage, the walk looks way more mechanic on the left leg than on the right. The "naked" robot seems faster and has a different walking style, somehow. But maybe I am just wrong...

[u/Carlyone]

If anything, it crossed into the uncanny valley. Normally robots look like and mov like robots. This robot tries to - but doesn't fully succeed to - move like a human, making it uncanny.

That's where we poke the uncanniness in our brains. Alarm bells going "something's wrong".

[u/ramriot]

There are such things as amputees

[u/Both_Craft3180]

I'm so tired of this robot tech company trend.

[u/Moxiousone]

Super impressive, especially how little of the 'robot' they actually revealed. Why not remove the face plate? Or show it's torso? You know, any part that could not have easily been a prosthetic of the person under the boobed robot disguise?

[u/GoldAcanthisitta7777]

Looks like someone with a leg amputation walking across stage. The video with the robot completely uncovered has a huge power cord attached. IDK I'm unconvinced 

[u/FraGough → u/GoldAcanthisitta7777]

The tethered one has a different gait too.

[u/_Panjo → u/GoldAcanthisitta7777]

In the live performance, the batteries are in the tiddies.

/s probably

[u/Crackhead_Programmer]

It has boobs and walks feminine. Interesting.

[u/MotherBaerd → u/Crackhead_Programmer]

We both know why

[u/gringosean]

Why do we bother making them like humans, surely there is a better design.

[u/lizardil]

"You look lonely, I can fix that" robots are becoming more and more real

[u/Dev1_E]

Hot take. We could make robots to look like ANYTHING. Let's NOT make them look like people.

[u/Taolan13]

This was clearly a last-minute thought to show it wasn't just a person, and not an intended part of the show.

If they had intended to do that, they would have just made it so the whole "skin" could get pulled off. Since it's clearly just fabric with shaped padding underneath, at least on the leg part that they cut off.

Since it's just the leg, and the gait of the untethered figure does not match the gait of the tethered bot, I don't buy it.

[u/Rock3tDoge]

Why did we have to make human replicas. Why can’t we build robots that at least walk slightly different than us. Are we actively trying to rush to a place where they can hide in plain sight

[u/icchansan]

Why do the robot need breasts?

[u/Little_View_6659 → u/icchansan]

Because a bunch of horny engineers made them.

[u/Specific_Builder1469]

Who else here just thought of Frieza with boobs?

[u/wreck5tep]

That's not uncanny at all... Sigh...

[u/ReyAlpaca]

It's just a prosthetic leg guys don't be fooled
