German police have taken a humanoid robot into custody. They are investigating claims that the machine was used to grope a 16-year-old girl.
The incident happened recently, sparking a police probe. Officers have seized the robot to see how it works. They have also taken the mobile phones of a group of young men who were reportedly with the robot at the time.
Investigators are trying to figure out if the men were controlling the robot remotely when the alleged assault happened. They want to know if someone was directing the machine to touch the girl or if it was a mechanical error.
So far, the police have not released the names of the men or the specific type of robot involved. For now, the machine remains with the authorities as part of their ongoing evidence collection.
