In Sichuan province, China, a humanoid robot was spotted on the street begging for alms, kneeling and bowing to passersby. The robot had a small bowl for collecting coins and a QR code for digital payments. A nearby LED sign stated that the robot 'has no money for charging' and asked people to help pay its electricity bill. The robot, identified as the Unitree G1 model worth $16,000, sparked online debates about whether this was a carefully planned joke or an unusual income scheme. Social media users are discussing the purpose behind the robot's actions.
