A humanoid robot in Macau made headlines after being escorted away by police following a startling encounter with an elderly woman.
The incident occurred last Thursday near a residential complex in the Patane area of Macau, where the woman was using her phone when she suddenly noticed the robot standing behind her.
The unexpected sight frightened her, prompting a confrontation with the machine, which was later taken away by two police officers.
The woman was briefly hospitalised as a precaution but did not suffer any injuries and was later discharged.
The robot, a compact bipedal humanoid model developed by Chinese robotics company Unitree Robotics, was returned to its operator, a local man in his 50s, who was reminded to exercise caution when operating such devices in public spaces.
