  @nickcpv Lol, I don’t mind. I thought it was a good movie, so I never mind the comparison.

Asimov would be rolling on his grave. The 3 laws of robotics totally ignored.

These guys have created a robotic assassin. Shame on them

  @derricknelson7987 for a human perhaps, but this thing has the potential to break most of your bones with one single kick. Remember, is made of steel

  Yeah I caught that as well. No idea why they would do that. They probably chose the name as a joke, but considering some people are worried about that, it s not the best idea

It would definitely wind you , probably on the strength of someone putting there foot on you and giving you a good push , probably on par with stubbing your toe or getting hit in the face .

Make it look like a T-800! Then I will be impressed. If I made a combat droid they would look like a real T-800.
At least the head and color.

CNET Magazine 1999 was the first tech magazine I read back at school, it was the one opened my eyes on computers & IT in general

Never thought one day CNET would test a robot kick strength as part of a review 😅

I’m not doubting about a robot capability kicking, but you also know how they always inflatings their story.

AI click bait
From AI itself:
About “EngineAI” specifically
“EngineAI” is often:
A brand name slapped onto viral videos
A content farm label, not a robotics company
Used to imply “advanced AI robot” without proof
There is no major, credible robotics firm producing humanoids under that exact name with independently verified demos.

Are the independent or is it a remote controlled device

Have an independent news outlet do a video. Any video put out by the company is not trustworthy, no matter how many angles they do.
