Food, sauce, and chopsticks were flying about in the dining room.
Staff Struggle To Stop Robot
Three employees came in to make the machine under control. They attempted to alienate it to customers. The robot did not stop. It kept on moving and dancing even after being attempted to be restrained several times. It continued to step and swing its arms even when in detainment.
There is an eyewitness film of the employees having a difficult time closing it. One of the workers seemed to be controlling the system using a phone. At some point, the robot was switched off, and it stopped halfway down the line. After a moment of tension, sanity broke out.
Automation Safety Concerns
There is an early signal of the fact that it may not have been a technical failure. Other reports blame it on human factors. It has a high-energy performance mode, which could have been triggered by an employee in celebration. The movements of the robot were probably not safe because there was not much room around the table.
