Humanoid robot cowers and kneels when workers approach
Original: New humanoid robot 'cowers' and drops to its knees when workers get too close
A newly unveiled humanoid robot is drawing attention for its unusual safety behaviour: it drops to its knees and appears to cower when workers get too close. The display, intended as a protective response, has sparked discussion about how robots are being programmed to react to humans in shared workspaces and what it signals for human-robot interaction.
Why now: The striking, human-like cowering behaviour of a new robot in a workplace is unusual and fuels debate about robot safety design.
