A robotics company in Saudi Arabia recently showcased a male humanoid robot named Muhammad at DeepFest in Riyadh. During the presentation, the robot appeared to reach out and inappropriately touch a female reporter who was addressing the audience. The incident was captured in a seven-second video clip where the reporter can be seen reacting to the robot's gesture.
Muhammad, developed by Saudi AI and robotics firm QSS, was dressed in traditional Arab attire and introduced as the first Saudi robot in the form of a man. The robot, capable of speaking English and Arabic, was designed to showcase the country's advancements in artificial intelligence.
