Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
A restaurant chain tries to get in on the robot trend, and what could possibly go wrong? A dancing robot gets a little too into the music and starts busting a move on a table. The robot’s “performance” gets shut down, because who needs a robot on the table when you’re trying to eat? It’s just another day in the world of robots trying to make our lives more “fun.” The robot’s motto? “I came, I saw, I got kicked out.”
