Westworld Promo Uses 'Ultra-Realistic' Animatronic Robot In Bar To Frighten Patrons

humanoid-robot-westworld-promo.jpg

This is a video created to promote the second season of Westworld streaming on NOW TV featuring an “ultra-realistic” humanoid robot named Fred (manufactured by robotics company Engineered Arts and modeled after London actor Tedroy Newell) scares bargoers with his talk of a humanoid robot invasion, before eventually ‘malfunctioning’ and smashing his pint of beer. Those people really seemed freaked out about it. I…don’t know if I would have even noticed. “You’ve already had seven shots, I doubt you’d notice anything.” You keep my lunch out of this.

Keep going for the video.
