"A video on social media shows the dancing robot knocking over tableware, smashing plates, and sending chopsticks flying. An orange apron the robot is wearing reads "I'm good" in big letters across the front, perfectly adding to the chaotic scene. Staffers at the restaurant were forced to intervene."
"In the end, it took three workers to restrain the robot, who were all forced to duck periodically to avoid being smacked by its waving and sauce-covered hands. Besides being the "funniest thing I've seen all day," many netizens pointed out what appeared to be the glaring omission of an emergency off button."
""More importantly, why isn't there a big red power off button on its back, you shouldn't have to reach for an app to do that..." one user argued. The incident appears to have been part of a promotional event for Disney's "Zootopia 2" at a Haidilao franchise in Southern California."
A humanoid robot performing a promotional dance routine at a Haidilao hot pot restaurant in San Jose, California malfunctioned and caused significant disruption. The robot knocked over tableware, smashed plates, and flailed its sauce-covered hands dangerously while staff attempted to control it. Three employees were required to physically restrain the robot, ducking to avoid being struck. The incident revealed critical safety design flaws, particularly the absence of an emergency power-off button accessible without using a mobile app. Social media users highlighted this oversight as a serious concern, questioning why physical emergency controls were not implemented on the robot's body.
