After all the commotion at Euro 2016, there have been concerns that Russian hooligans are going to attack British fans at the World Cup in 2018. Fortunately, that worry has been taken care of.
Meet AlanTim, a robot that, in addition to having two first names, can call the police on hooligans, use logic to reason with hooligans, anticipate conflics before they happen and even wear a bowtie.
To prove AlanTim's effectiveness, the Moscow Technical Institute made this video, in which AlanTim is shown interacting positively with a man who has tattoos.
AlanTim, I'm sure your offer is sincere and all, but I don't think Russian soccer hooligans will be fazed by a four-feet-tall robot that looks strikingly like Wall-E and uses logic. But that's just me. Hopefully AlanTim is too heavy for hooligans to pick up and throw at people, but AlanTim will probably get thrown at people.
And hey Russia, no need to make a robot to keep American fans safe. We will bring our own.
