Real or Render? EngineAI’s Bipedal Robot Sparks Fierce CGI Controversy
EngineAI's latest bipedal robot video is so realistic that viewers suspect CGI. Watch the robot kick doors and spar with the CEO in a display of tech power.
It's so fluid it looks fake. Chinese robotics startup EngineAI just dropped a video of its latest bipedal robot that's so impressive, the internet is screaming CGI. Despite the prominent No CGI tag on the footage, the robot's ability to kick through saloon-style doors and spar with a human has left skeptics squinting at their screens.
CEO Sparring Session: Man vs. Machine
In the viral clip, the robot doesn't just walk; it reacts. The machine mirrors the movements of EngineAI's CEO, shifting its weight with a level of grace that usually requires a Hollywood rendering farm. According to reports from Boing Boing, the robot's rapid adjustments and balance maintenance during the combat drill represent a significant leap in bipedal control systems.
Navigating the Uncanny Valley of Hardware
The skepticism stems from the high speed of the robot's motor responses. In an era where AI-generated content is everywhere, EngineAI is facing a unique challenge: proving that their hardware is as good as it looks. By including the 'No AGCG No CGI' disclaimer, the company is betting on transparency to silence the critics while simultaneously fueling the viral fire.
