Humanoid robot is chased by excited children after it appears in New York park

Kids playing in New York City were joined by an unusual companion - a humanoid robot.

Footage shows a Unitree G1 humanoid bot running and playing with children at Brooklyn Bridge Park, as shocked bystanders watched on.

It comes just days after First Lady Melania Trump entered her inaugural technology and education summit with a robot by her side.

The bot told representatives from more than 40 countries: “It is an honor to be here… I am grateful to be a part of this historic movement to empower children with technology.”
