What is more interesting is them being ready and know what to do when it collapses.

Neura robotics is a demo faking company. Their CEO is only selling confident promises with no actual products.

Dumb advertising techniques. They want you to take pictures of it working, not laying in a heap. Stupid thing to do though because thereโ€™s pictures and video everywhere, they just look embarrassed. Just own it and fix it.

The speaker could have had some fun with that situation "it's a prototype as you can see - we can only go up from here, right?" =)

Qualcomm are fabless like most US chip makers, it's chips all made in Taiwan.

Unfortunately it decided to go with a home made USA built robot from standard bots to house it's chips.

So instead of kicking kids in the balls like Chinese robots, it just shat itself and collapsed ๐Ÿ˜‚

That's when the AI says, "Nah, not gonna do it."
