[–] Terr_ 1y ago ↗ > Initially the act was dismissed as a hoax, but was later confirmed by both robotics companies involved to be true.I suspect there's some weasel-wording going on here.It may be real video-footage, taken of real devices in a real room, which really moved and really emitted sounds... And still be staged as all heck.Skepticism is especially warranted when such a "miscommunication" means the company could gain ridiculous amounts of viral marketing.
