J-CASTニュースは6日、詳しい状況を取材した。普段「びっくりドンキー」に週1で通う江崎さんは、この日も埼玉県内の店舗を利用していた。通路で鉢合わせた2台の配膳ロボットは、すれ違えずに前後に動く動作を何度も繰り返していたという。

ネコ型の配膳ロボットは穏やかな表情だったが、やがて「怒り」の表情に。この様子を利用客たちは呆然と見ていたという。その後、江崎さんに呼ばれた店員さんは、ネコ型の配膳ロボットの電源を切って通路を確保した。江崎さんは、初めて見た光景だったと明かす。

J-CAST News covered the situation in detail on the 6th. Ezaki, who usually visits Bikkuri Donkey once a week, was at a branch in Saitama Prefecture on the day. The two food delivery robots ran into each other in the aisle and repeatedly moved back and forth without passing each other.

The cat-shaped food delivery robot had a calm expression, but then it turned "angry." Customers watched in amazement. After that, Ezaki called a store employee who turned off the cat-shaped food delivery robot and cleared the aisle. Ezaki revealed that it was the first time he had ever seen such a sight.


This was a cute happening my wife alerted me to.
 
So, how was that robot stand-off resolved? 🤖
 
It sounds like the employees had to turn off the power to at least one of the opposing robots and manually move it/them to clear the path.

Wasn't there a similar diplomatic incident in France a couple hundred years ago where the ambassadors from two different countries faced each other off on a narrow road? As I recall, the solution was to hastily widen the road just at the one spot so neither diplomat would have to lose face.
