Cologne police investigate a Unitree R1 robot streamed grabbing a 16-year-old's buttocks

Cologne police are investigating after a remotely controlled Unitree R1 robot allegedly touched a 16-year-old girl's buttocks and made thrusting movements against her on Sunday, October 11.

The robot belonged to 16-year-old German Twitch streamer Agaamuza, who streamed it walking through Cologne, and Twitch has temporarily suspended his channel.

The R1 costs between $4,900 and $5,900, and the streamer says the robot ran into the girl without groping her.
