Oh my god they could not have made that more creepy
Did they have to make it as horrifying as a demonically possessed person in a movie?
Shit… Call this one Voldo, like from Soul Calibur. It moves exactly the same.
This needs to have a voiceover at 0:18, quietly asking “Do you have stairs in your house?”
It was kind of inevitable that sooner or later, their impressive robots would fall deep into the uncanny valley. I suspect they knew this particular aspect about the new Atlas robot would be the most controversial, which is why they posted it separately to judge reactions and for it not to distract from the main video showing its other capabilities later on.
wonder why those elbows lock out instead of having 270 degrees of freedom. would be even more creepy. could have one arm in facing-forward mode and one in facing-backward mode, do the same with the feet. then googly eyes for the back of the head.
