"What started out as the robot's routine dance and greeting a few weeks ago ran amok when someone - ahem, a human - accidentally ordered up a high-energy act, according to an employee at the Main Street Cupertino restaurant on Stevens Creek Boulevard. The resulting mayhem, while short-lived, went viral this week."
"Someone had 'pressed the 'crazy dance' in a tight space,' the employee said Tuesday, reiterating that this was simply human error. Despite the clash of dinnerware heard on the video, there was no damage except for 'a few spilled sauces.'"
"According to the staff, the remote-control robot is programmed to dance, say hi and do hand movements like making a heart shape, a high-five or shaking hands. The robot doesn't serve food."
A robot employee at Haidilao hot pot restaurant in Cupertino experienced a malfunction when someone accidentally activated its high-energy dance mode in a confined space. The incident resulted in the robot's arms swinging wildly while staff members attempted to restrain it and adjust the remote control. A video of the chaos went viral on social media. The restaurant confirmed the incident was caused by human error and resulted in only minor spills with no significant damage. The robot is programmed to dance, greet customers, and perform hand gestures like making hearts and high-fives, but does not serve food. The robot has since returned to normal operation at the restaurant entrance.
