Video of Saudi Arabia’s first male robot goes viral for the wrong reason
A video of Saudi Arabia’s first male robot has gone viral after a few netizens accused the humanoid of touching a female reporter inappropriately. However, others argued that the robot could have been programmed to move in a certain way or malfunctioned.
In the seven-second clip, the traditionally attired robot named Muhammad is standing behind a female reporter for Saudi-owned television network Al Arabiya making the presentation when it lifts its right hand slowly and seems to touch her lower back or buttock.
This causes the woman to turn around and look at the robot, briefly raising her left hand at it.
