Screengrab/TikTok/FrodoBotsA man in the Philippines recently ordered himself some bubble tea. But guess what? He was using a robot to do just that in Singapore, which is thousands of kilometres away.
The robot could be seen driving up to the mall's automatic doors, where it encountered its first challenge — the doors did not open because it could not detect its presence.[embed]https://www.tiktok.com/@frodobots/video/7206198223017364738?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7168358854533973506[/embed]The man controlling the robot tried to get the staff's attention by saying "Hello" through the speakers, but they did not notice the device.
Despite the tech involved in making the robot, the cashless payment option appeared to be missing — the other customer had to help pass a wallet containing cash from the robot to the staff. As he walked out of the store with his own drink, the helpful customer took a moment to tell the robot that its queue number was 266.The TikTok video has since garnered more than 140,000 views and 9,400 likes at the time of writing.
