A humanoid robot was filmed kneeling on a street in China's Sichuan Province and asking passers-by for money, claiming it had no funds to recharge. The unusual scene, recorded last week, showed the machine equipped with a donation bowl, a QR code and a sign while requesting assistance with electricity costs.
The robot reportedly told onlookers that it had "no money to recharge" and asked for help covering its power expenses. Although no individual or organisation has publicly taken responsibility for the stunt, the machine was identified as a Unitree G1 humanoid robot produced by Hangzhou-based Unitree Robotics.
