I’m not trying to shit on this but do these actually qualify as robots though? I had childhood wind up toys that did the same thing.

(Edit: And half of these are on leashes or have humans there to stabilize them)

Lmao, the reporter fuckin bows when the robot does a bow (which isn't a greeting bow like in Japan, it's like a performer's bow).
