During an AI exhibition in Moscow on Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin was seen on camera with a stoic expression as he watched a robot perform a dance routine.

The footage captured a humanoid robot named Green attempting to dance in front of Putin, who responded with the comment, “Very beautiful. Thanks,” before making his exit.

This interaction between Putin and the robotic dancer quickly became one of the most replayed scenes on television that day, frequently featured on state-run TV channels, according to Reuters.

The event was organized by Sberbank and took place at the AI Journey conference, where Putin arrived surrounded by a group of security personnel.

The video also shows the bodyguards moving toward the Russian leader when the robot stepped forward to introduce itself to Putin.

“My name is Green,” it said in Russian. “I am the first Russian humanoid robot with embedded artificial intelligence. This means that I am not just a program on a screen but a physical embodiment of technology,” Green added.

The video shows Green going on to explain its capabilities, noting, “Over 40 motors and numerous sensors allow me to move smoothly, maintain my balance confidently and interact safely with people.”

It requested a virtual assistant to play its favorite track before launching into a dance routine set to the folk-pop song The Sun Rose High, per Reuters.

At one point, a nervous bodyguard appeared to edge between the robot and Putin to make sure that the choreographed display didn’t go wrong.

The moment in Moscow contrasted to another video that went viral days earlier when a different AI-powered humanoid named Aidol fell over within seconds of walking on stage.
