North Korean robots disguised as kids! Very creepy...

These are robots from a North Korean televised show. They look amazing real and even their movement is so life like! i've looked into this and many ppl have confirmed that these are robots.

Robot Kids

either its a really good robot or they really are kids, becuz thats crazy, how did they get the actuators to move so fluid like?

i would love to see that, but for some reason the video will not load for me

Whoops... Sorry for the Double post

Where does it say they're robots? the site says

"This video features some of North Korea's 'Genius Kids' in a recent 2004 New Year's performance on Korean and Japanese TV."

Just some talented youngsters? I dont see anything about robots.

yeah what i thought, it says their genius kids not robots

they do look funny thoe, like zombies. AHHH zombie kids run run run!

damn...... what will they come out with next...

robot children......wow.....

I was just typing the same thing, kegs! And, do those kids look sickly, or is it just me? I've heard that the North Koreans are really messed-up because of all the malnutrition.

lol...they aren't robots...I wonder who it is "confirmed" this, please tell us, and how they did so

Can you, uh, provide some links that say that those are robots. Cause they sure as hell look like creepy little kids to me.

If those are robots, then the North Koreans are alot more technologically advanced than we think.

Oh man I�m dying laughing. Those aren�t robots the caption says they are genius kids.

the place where i got this from said, "Little Korean robots disguised as living children playing instruments." the source told me not to mention them.

P.S. it's not that hard to make them. all u need is some pixie dust and think of a happy thought. any happy little thought. and use the magic of disney animatronics!

Oh, well, then it must be true. Hahaha, I hope this is a joke..

They're not robots. There's nothing that says that. The site says they're genius kids, not robots. If North Korea had that kind of technology, decades beyond what any other country has yet been able to produce, the US wouldn't be putting N. Korea on the back burner. We'd be too worried about their robot armies which would feel no pain and look exactly like humans.

Yeah they do look creepy though. You can tell they've been told "go out there and smile!' look as if you're enjoying yourself! YOU WILL ENJOY YOURSELF YOU LITTLE #S!!!!"

silQ are you mining points with this post? Or do you have someone on the inside of the Korean government? Try to preserve your credibility, after all it�s all we really have on this site.

You forgot about the "If you don't smile and enjoy yourselves, we'll torture and kill your parents before your eyes!"

o well....guess not. but then if they're not robots, how could they move all together simultaneously like that? just look at their heads. they move together. and they never looked at their music and their eyes dont move. all they do is sit there, play, and look straight ahead. maybe if ur life is on the line or something u could be forced to do that but they're just kids. at least one of them would break down and start crying if that happened. they're amazing uniformity is pretty creepy though.

If Japan, a culture literally obsessed with humanoid robots, just managed to make robots that can sort of dance, the North Koreans sure as hell haven't made robots. I
