The robot enters the chat.
Meet the Unitree G1, a humanoid robot that’s supposed to attract attention, but ends up sending a 70-year-old woman to the hospital due to shock. No physical contact was made, but the interaction was enough to stress her out.
The robot was being remotely controlled by a man who worked for the education center, and police got involved, “detaining” the robot and escorting it from the scene.
It’s just another day in the life of humans and robots coexisting, where a startled woman can end up in the hospital and a robot can be taken into police custody.
Because what could possibly go wrong with introducing robots into everyday life?
