A 'male' humanoid robot was unveiled in Saudi Arabia. It then inappropriately touched a female reporter.

This is not news. The robot lifted it's hand and she was standing too close to the display. It barely qualifies as a robot anyway. It's not like it looked down and analyzed her butt. It's not that complicated.
It has wide field of view, no need to look down. It analyzed and decided to clap dat ass.
Sure seems that way. I don't personally do controls engineering. But I know enough I wouldn't doubt that's just pre-programmed motion to attempt it looking "alive".
So 1) Seems much more like animatronics. 2) It certainly doesn't have advanced enough proximity detection AI would need.
The creators even claim they told people to stay back. That's not advanced at all. Even simple production line bots have collision detection.
How dare you use logic on the internet shame on you
Thanks for saving me a read. I was expecting some basic object identification and retrieval AI getting confused by a pattern and groping to grab the "object"
