A humanoid robot is seen on a sidewalk in China begging passersby (VIDEO)

A humanoid robot was seen on a sidewalk in China asking passersby for change, holding a bowl, a QR code, and a sign stating it had no money for charging and needed help with electricity costs.

Critics highlighted the contrast between high expectations for artificial intelligence and real economic pressures. The incident occurred several months after a unique half-marathon in Beijing featuring over 300 humanoid robots.
