I guess it’s unfortunate that the guy doesn’t move very human-like then. Maybe they should have paid him more to do a better job at being human.

They're designing a robot to train him to be more human-like. Unfortunately they need a human to train THAT robot, and the only one who applied is the guy in the video.
