In the Twitter video above, posted by TechCrunch Editor-In-Chief Matthew Panzarino, you can see the robot on rollerblades with some very impressive moves, including the ability to sit up, roll over, and navigate around the stage on the rollerblades.

The Hulk was also on hand at SXSW to demonstrate his all-new meet-and-greet suit. The new suit, featuring a unique exoskeleton developed by Disney Imagineers, will be welcoming guests at Avengers Campus in Disneyland Paris soon.

SXSW is an annual conference that focuses on cutting-edge advances in tech, music, film, and culture. The conference is held annually in Austin, Texas.
