German police have seized a humanoid robot after it allegedly touched a 16-year-old girl inappropriately in Cologne. Investigators are examining whether two suspects deliberately controlled the machine during the incident, which was reportedly recorded and livestreamed on social media.
Police said the incident occurred between 11.45pm and midnight on the night of 10–11 October outside a fast-food restaurant at the junction of Palmstraße and Hohenzollernring, a busy nightlife street in the western German city. They announced the seizure on 12 October.
