At a legal forum in St. Petersburg, the Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Bastrykin, unexpectedly staged an "interrogation" of Ardi, a Perm robot bailiff. After several questions, the head of the IC decided to test the android's abilities - and tried... to seat him. Literally.
At first, Bastrykin asked Ardi what he did. The robot replied that he had come to the forum to entertain people, help them and answer legal questions. But when the investigator asked the android to sit down, the conversation came to a standstill: the robot fell silent.
Then Bastrykin personally showed how to do it - he sat down himself and asked again: "Can you sit down?". There was no answer, and Ardi remained standing. "Good luck, teach him [to squat]", Bastrykin ironically wished the development team.
Ardi the robot is a product of the Promobot company, created on the Robo-C platform by order of Double W Expo. It is equipped with the Motion Capture system and is capable of reproducing human emotions, facial expressions and gestures. Its main function is to interact with people at forums, exhibitions and public spaces.
This time the robot failed to cope with the task, but it certainly created intrigue. We hope that next time he will not only answer, but also learn to squat. In the meantime, it's a good illustration that not everything is subject even to the head of the IC.
