Three people can't stop a dancing robot that's gone haywire in a California restaurant – a taste of a Terminator-like future?
At a Zootopia 2-themed promotional event at a restaurant in San Jose, California, a dancing robot's performance went viral (video here) when the machine seemingly went haywire. While dancing a little too close to a counter, the robot sent some utensils flying, causing a panicked employee to try and restrain it. Unable to stop the machine, it continued its programmed dance, even when two colleagues came to help. The crucial emergency stop button was missing, and it was only after painstakingly shutting down the machine via a mobile app that the mayhem finally ended. The source of this amusing disaster—thankfully, no one was hurt—appears to be human error, a sign that the future world domination by robots will be caused by us, poor fools.
