Technological advances often amaze crowds. This experience is exacerbated at technology or innovation fairs. However, a reporter experienced an unpleasant surprise when a robot with a humanoid appearance crossed limits.
During a fair in Saudi Arabia, the anthropomorphic robot touched a reporter’s buttock while she was doing a live broadcast. This lewd cyber act was recorded on the Internet, where the incident is relived with humor, as it is considered an unintentional coincidence.
The journalist approached “Muhammad”, Saudi Arabia’s first male humanoid robot. As she demonstrated the invention to her audience, the robot performed a movement in which her hand brushed against the woman’s body.
Through social networks, you can see how the woman is speaking with a microphone in her hand along with another speaker, when suddenly “Muhammad” moves and touches the woman’s buttock. This act caused a reaction in the communicator, who moved slightly but continued speaking.

Reactions to reporter being harassed by humanoid robot
However, this brief clip went around the world, and there were those who pointed out that the gesture was a technical failure. The engineers responsible for the creation of “Muhammad” offered an apology because of this.
At the moment, the reporter’s position regarding the painful incident with the robot, which works with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and was presented at this cutting-edge technology exhibition in the Arab country, is unknown. In addition, social networks turned the video into a trend, and user reactions were varied. Some claimed that the robot moved without the intention of touching the woman, while others interpreted it as a case of harassment.
