I’m in a long line for the bag drop at the airport. A robotic cart joined the queue. It alternated between demanding people move in Japanese and English, and voicing the same demands at a variety of barriers.

People have done their best to acquiesce to its demands, but it’s now stationary and shouting in multiple languages.

We do have rather decent robot wheelchairs, and the fully automated baggage check is outstanding. Not all the public service robots here are as rood as the floor sweeper ones. 😆
