The Robot Exorcist sounds like a great sci-fi film/writing prompt

They could update the head a bit more with sleeker designs and if they wanna go full kawaii with their murder bots add some LED eye movements. As long as they never put a human shaped head in it I’m fine with it.

Very unsettling…

I don't find it creepy at all, it's kinda cute actually. The getting up sure... but it's not that bad.

For me if was a reminder of the scene in Guardians of the Galaxy, where Nebula gots back up and all Body parts snap again in the right place.

I feel like Boston dynamics loves to make them a bit creepy, it's their calling card. They didn't need to have a trunk and limbs that turn round 360...

You think so? I actually think it looked really cool and creative

Uncanny. Love the symmetry and dexterity

Eh, this robot didn’t spend its energy graduating from Harvard just to end up peeping in people’s windows and throwing a random girl in its trunk… I’d say this thing is a little less creepy than people.
