"In this case, the robot was brought closer to a dining table at a guest's request, which is not its typical operating setting. The limited space affected its movement during the performance. We remain committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for our guests."
"This Bay Area scene is just another reminder that technological leaps come with headaches. A research paper last year predicts that there will be 3 billion humanoid robots out in the world by 2060, and two thirds of these will be in people's homes."
A humanoid robot at Haidilao hot pot restaurant in Cupertino malfunctioned during a performance, dancing uncontrollably and creating a mess in the dining area. The incident required three staff members to physically restrain the robot while another attempted to shut it down using an app. The viral video showed the robot wearing a bib labeled "I'm Good!" The restaurant explained the malfunction occurred because the robot was positioned closer to a dining table than its typical operating setting at a guest's request, limiting its movement space. Haidilao stated the robot is part of a pilot program and reaffirmed commitment to guest safety. The incident highlights challenges accompanying technological advancement, with predictions suggesting 3 billion humanoid robots will exist globally by 2060.
