An unusual incident occurred in Macau, China, where a humanoid robot, model Unitree G1, was escorted by police after it scared a 70-year-old woman. The woman, who was walking down the street, noticed the robot behind her and panicked, later arriving at the hospital due to her state of distress. The incident took place near a residential complex, and during the confrontation, the woman scolded the robot, expressing her fear. The police intervened, escorting the robot and returning it to its operator, a 50-year-old man, who was advised to be more careful in using it in public. Representatives of the educational center explained that the robot had become stuck behind the woman, who had stopped to check her phone. Although there were no injuries, the incident sparked discussions about the safety and ethics of using robots in public spaces.
