    Sure seems that way. I don’t personally do controls engineering. But I know enough I wouldn’t doubt that’s just pre-programmed motion to attempt it looking “alive”.

    So 1) Seems much more like animatronics. 2) It certainly doesn’t have advanced enough proximity detection AI would need.

    The creators even claim they told people to stay back. That’s not advanced at all. Even simple production line bots have collision detection.
