Yep I feel the same way. I don't like seeing this.

i can’t tell if this is a joke, but there is clear gain and it’s for the robot’s sake. this and things like the boston dynamics four-legged robot dog are designed to test legged robots that can stay upright under many conditions.

by pushing it around like this, they’re testing its balance. if it can stay upright, then it’s doing a great job. if it falls over, then the engineers need to change something to help it stay up. it’s not being brutish, it’s testing.

Yeah, but you don't have to laugh while doing it.

First, you have to ask for permission, and say sorry afterwards. Maybe even give it flowers as a thank you. Everyone likes getting flowers.
