According to 1M AI News monitoring, at a Cupertino, California, Haidilao Hot Pot restaurant, a humanoid robot performing a dance suddenly waved its arms, knocking over tableware and chopsticks, and was restrained by at least 3 employees. The on-site video was posted on Xiaohongshu by user Meooow and later spread by ABC News. The robot is believed to be the Lingxi X2 under the Intelligent Element Robot.
Haidilao told NBC News that the incident was caused by the robot moving closer to the table at the customer's request, stating that "this is not its usual operating environment, and limited space affected its movement during the performance," denying that the robot was "malfunctioning or out of control."
