Humanoid robots are being used more and more often – not just in warehouses or factories, but also in households or in restaurants, as service workers.
Since the technology is still fairly new, not everything is working according to plan. Recently, a video went viral showing a robot being taken away by police after scaring an elderly woman.

An employee held the robot by the neck while pressing on a smartphone – presumably to search for control options in the robot’s app.
Ultimately, it took three employees to tame the robot that had gone wild. All three had to duck repeatedly to avoid being hit by his waving and food-smeared hands.
