Out-of-Control Dancing Robot at Cupertino Restaurant Goes Viral
- Yesterday, a dancing humanoid robot at Haidilao in Cupertino got too close to a table and smashed plates, scattering dishware and chopsticks, in a video posted by Xiaohongshu user Meooow.
- In its statement to NBC News, Haidilao said the robot is part of a pilot set-up and was brought closer to a dining table at a guest's request, with limited dining space affecting its movement.
- At least three Haidilao employees struggled to restrain the robot while one Haidilao employee used a phone app, and the viral clip was covered by NBC News and ABC.
- Safety concerns rose because hot pot involves very hot broth, so spilled pots could seriously burn diners, and the episode highlighted operational risks for humanoid robots in restaurants.
- The robot appears to be an AgiBot X2 robot shown at CES, and AgiBot did not immediately respond to TechCrunch; notably, the robot's bib reading 'I'm Good!' added irony to the scene.
