In a restaurant in California, a humanoid robot participating in a presentation began to move in an increasingly uncontrolled manner, knocking over utensils, breaking plates and scattering objects all over the place.

In a video that quickly went viral, on social networks as always you can see the robot throwing cutlery and chopsticks while continuing to move without stopping, the most curious detail was wearing an apron with the phrase, "I'm fine", which made the situation even more ironic. The restaurant employees tried to intervene, one of the workers managed to hold the robot from behind while looking for some type of control on the cell phone, but it was not enough, three employees were needed to contain the machine and even so they had to constantly bend down to avoid being hit by the robot's movements.

The incident occurred during a promotional event related to the movie Zotopia 2, and although the entire scene seemed almost comical, it raised an important issue. Why wasn't there a physical emergency shutdown button? Many Internet users pointed out this detail as a serious problem, after all, depending on an application to stop a machine and a critical situation may not be the best solution.

While some treated the episode as something funny, others made more worrying comparisons, one user commented that this type of situation recalls the beginning of stories like Terminator, not with explosions, but with small events out of control, this leads us to an important reflection, as robots begin to occupy public spaces, interact with people and execute tasks in the real world, small failures stop being simple technical errors and become visible, unpredictable and sometimes dangerous events.

But not everything in the advancement of robotics is failures or chaotic moments of course, in many cases the level of precision of these machines is simply impressive.
