A robot bodyguard clip

Berman introduces footage showing physical movement and an encounter.

I introduce footage of a robot I describe as a bodyguard available for purchase. The clip shows martial-arts-style movements and a fall, but does not identify a manufacturer, demonstrate independent testing or establish availability.

I narrate scenes of a masked person and a robot apparently lifting a car to help someone, followed by an intervention involving an approaching car. These dramatic scenes alone do not establish that a real, autonomous robot can safely perform those actions.

Vehicle-rescue scenarios

He describes dramatic scenes involving a car; the short does not establish real-world performance.
