In lighter but revealing news, a viral video from China’s Xinjiang region shows a Unitree G1 robot — wearing a blue clown wig during a public demonstration — executing a precise kick that struck a small child directly in the stomach, knocking the boy to the ground. The child was not seriously injured, but the incident has reignited urgent debate about the safety protocols surrounding increasingly powerful humanoid robots now being demonstrated in public spaces.
Meanwhile, in New Jersey, three masked robbers pulled off a brazen 93-second heist at the Big Pack Hobby Shop, smashing through a glass door and emptying display cases to steal Pokémon cards valued between $40,000 and $50,000. Security footage shows the trio operating with military precision. Authorities are investigating whether the suspects had previously cased the store posing as customers — a testament to the surging value of collectible trading cards in today’s market.
