A flight from Oakland to San Diego was delayed due to a human-like robot's lithium battery exceeding allowable size limits. The robot, purchased a seat by a customer, was already on board when crew members identified the issue. The Transportation Security Administration has restrictions on lithium batteries due to fire risks. The flight arrived about an hour late, but passengers were entertained by the robot, which was seen dancing at the airport gate in a video shared online.
