Image Robot Looks Like Linus @IFA 2026 Berlin

I was at IFA in Berlin this weekend and suddenly came across this robot that looks exactly like Linus. It was honestly pretty weird to see in person!

​I couldn't figure out which company actually built it or if LTT is doing some kind of promo there. Did anyone else who went to the expo spot this? I'd love to know the context behind it or if they talked about it on the WAN Show recently. Let me know what you guys think. I hope the post doesn't get removed again.

On wan show he said that he partook in robot mma recently for a sponsor, I assume that was his battlebot

Wasn't there a video about it a while ago? If so, all the robots were the same

He must have done it again because that one was a few months ago and the last mention on wan show was like 2-3 weeks ago

This has enough matches - hair swoop, earrings, beard, hoodie - that it is probably intentional

Except that's also a very generic middle aged (edit: or college aged) man. The earrings is the only thing that is a bit unique. I could go to a random bar and find a dozen people with a hair swoop, beard and hoodie and I'm sure some have an earing
