WAIC humanoid robot demo looks so human it creeps people out
Kuprel · x · 2026-07-21
A post reacting to a humanoid robot demo at WAIC says the machine looks creepy because it already seems close to running faster than a human, fighting hand to hand, and even making people fall in love with it.
The broader point is not technical detail but the impression such humanoid demos are starting to create: a robot that feels uncomfortably human-like, and therefore memorable enough to trigger sharing and jokes.
