Later, the clip shows two officers escorting the mechanical troublemaker away, in what is probably the silliest perp walk you’ll lay eyes on. One of the cops even places a hand on the robot’s shoulder, humanizing the display.

this is a mischaracterization. The cop was maintaining physical control. Either because he didn't want it walking away, or because it was tippy. or whatever. but it certainly wasn't a sympathetic pat.

Robots need a spot on their head us non-clankers can stick magnets to that causes them to breakdance until their batteries die.

The robot stood behind her, waiting for her to get out of the way. How is that terrorizing?

If it resists, will they throw it to the ground and keep smashing it with a baton until they can get the arms into handcuffs?

What is the charge, eating a meal? A succulent human meal?

Towin Mak, a representative from the educator center that owned the robot, explained to TDM that the incident happened as the robot was leaving the area. The woman stopped in the middle of the walkway to check her phone, and because the robot couldn’t get around, it simply waited behind her, he claimed. That’s when she noticed the robot with its lights on, startling her, given the late hour.

If I discovered a robot standing silently behind me on the street, I would also have a lil' freakout

In china

Was this him?

Wouldnt tasering him be fatal?

I would definitely be talking about the safety of these humanoid robots operating in public spaces. Like, I'm not worried it's gonna turn evil and be like "KILL. ALL. HUMANS!" but like, the ones I've seen are pretty fucking janky and could potentially bug out and start flailing around and hurt someone unintentionally.

So who called the police? Also the supposed freaked out last stayed around to yell and rant at the robot. Id you’re really scared you’d leave.
