Video Shows Dancing Robot Accidentally Kicking Child in the Stomach at Public Attraction

A young boy was accidentally kicked by a performing robot at a scenic attraction in China’s Xinjiang region, as shown in video footage circulating online. The clip captures the moment the robot makes contact with the child, causing him to clutch his stomach and crouch to the ground in pain. According to the boy’s mother, the incident was formally reported to police, and she strongly criticized the park management’s handling of the situation. She alleged that on-site staff failed to respond promptly or take immediate action following the accident. The robot involved was reportedly being operated under the supervision of park authorities as part of a public performance. Although the child was later confirmed to be unharmed and did not suffer serious injuries, the incident has sparked broader concerns about safety measures and operational protocols for robots used in entertainment settings and other public spaces where visitors, including children, are present.
