Sometimes my husband and I will go out for a walk after dinner. Tonight I was surprised to see there was a robot sweeper in a lane. It looks like the attached photo. I stood in front of this robot sweeper on purpose as I wanted to see how it reacted. It stood there and perhaps said something like "Excuse me"? I was not sure as a little boy passed by and told me not to give this robot troubles

I laughed and I told this little boy I just wanted to have a test and see how "smart" this robot would be

OK, I must have a child's heart

Unfortunately I don’t see the photo. I haven’t seen a robot in the streets before.

Just now I uploaded the image again. Mylot seems to be unstable in my side now.

@youless I can see it now. I wasn’t able to get into Mylot earlier this morning. I guess they are having problems.

Somewhat I think they are not as smart as I expected

In fact some years ago I saw a similar robot in a mall. And a lot of children were around the robot and asked the robot to lead them to the toilet

The robot was so busy to do so

I saw a large robotic sweeper in a grocery store one time. I thought it was pretty interesting. It was tall.

I am surprised as this robot was in a little lane which there were no more people around. Perhaps they also wanted to have a test at first.

Yes, some robots are very advanced. But this robot sweeper was not smart
