so…. huge audience and reporters and staff on site… but no students? Oooookay?
Awesome innovation. That’s why they re the tech giants thinking ahead.
Oops~it looks Federal not graduation ceremony.
That is soo soo stupid, what are coordinators and principal doing their in person, they should have had a robot do their job for them as well, this is insulting
I just got emotional….I love how humanity adapts to any obstacle presented to US✌
It's not Tokyo university but BBT university.
This….is…disturbing…is this what will become the new..Norm?
I'm sorry to say. Has I would be leaving I would have to Moon them. Lol
I don't find this humorous as much as I find it disturbing. I don't like where we're headed…
This may be the dumbest thing I’ve seen in weeks!
Bruh this is weird 😭😭
Now how stupid can humanity we want robots to replace us
Sorry but this is just ridiculous
I can’t stop laughing. The music makes it even more hilarious! 😂
We need to graduate on roblox
I don't mean to be disrespectful to this robotic design, but they do look like vampires that appear in Hong Kong movies.
Cool. Sad. Weird.
Silly things like this can only happen in Japan.
“That’s group of smart ass people”. Really, I mean it. It totally not a waste of time. It so necessary for the student and teacher and school. Student think is fine. Teacher think that’s good teaching effort during the pandemic. So they can brag about. School would be on news from japan to America. School can gain fame. Yeah. And we can say “ wow, is so cool”.
I’m Japanese, this too weird tbh
The most stupid think u can do wow
You should be there in person to get your diploma in person not robots that isn't right AMEN
My school is debating whether to have the graduation on Roblox or Minecraft
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Class of 2020 whatsup
