To walk like a human, you must first learn to stumble like a human,” the post caption read. Technological advancement is unpredictable and can change the world in several unimaginable ways until it happens. One such example is the emergence of robotics, which has now become an integral part of present reality.
Another viral video doing rounds online features a humanoid robot learning to walk on slopes, thus spreading wide discussion among netizens on social media. In the clip, a humanoid robot named Optimus is seen stumbling and almost falling while trying to walk unevenly.
The video was posted on Tesla Motors‘ official Instagram page with the caption, “To walk like a human, you must first learn to stumble like a human.” Optimus is a product of Tesla, owned by the richest man in the world, Elon Musk. In the video, the robot is practicing walking up and down a slope.
The robot stumbles sideways as if a toddler is learning to walk or trying to imitate the staggering steps of a drunk person. The robot occasionally stumbles, which makes it seem like it falls over, but at the last minute, it balances itself and moves forward.
The video went viral on social media and received many likes and mixed reactions. In the comment section, many raised concerns about the advancement of robotics, while others joked about looking like drunk people.
Commenting on the post, a user wrote, “I’m thinking he’s not going to pass a sobriety test,” while another added, “Me coming home drunk at 4 AM.” On the other hand, a user warned of the situation, writing, “The day will come when this won’t be funny.
“Robots don’t have to look and work like humans; their sole purpose is to work and work efficiently,” another said. The fifth user wrote, “Just wait till they start chasing us…with guns”.
