But then the awful truth came out after local journalists on the TJournal website asked some probing questions .....
It then turned out to be a man in a 'suit. The Alyosha robot costume is described by the makers, Show Robots, as being able to create "an almost complete illusion that you have a real robot." .... a snip at 250,000 rouble (£2,975), as the organisers of the Proyektoria Technology Forum can attest.
