VIDEO: Humanoid robot mimics Ronaldo’s iconic ‘siuuu’ celebration

A humanoid robot has attracted attention online after performing Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic “Siuuu” celebration during a football demonstration.

n

Sky Sports Football shared the video on its Instagram page on Monday, showing the robot participating in a football activity before jumping and landing with its arms outstretched, closely mimicking the celebration made famous by the Portuguese football star.

n

The footage comes amid growing interest in humanoid robots and their ability to perform increasingly complex physical movements.

n

Chinese humanoid robots have also recently attracted attention in athletics. One such robot reportedly completed a 100-metre run in 9.39 seconds, faster than Usain Bolt’s 9.58-second human world record.

n

However, the robot’s time does not qualify as an official athletics world record because robotic competitions and demonstrations are conducted under different rules and conditions from human track events.

n

Ronaldo’s “Siuuu” celebration remains one of the most recognisable gestures in football and has been widely imitated by players and fans around the world.
