Cute Chinese robot loses control, smashes window and injures someone

A Chinese-made robot had an accident at a Shenzhen tech trade fair over the weekend, smashing a glass window and injuring someone standing nearby.

On Friday the robot, which its maker, Beijing Science and Technology, affectionately calls 小胖 (Xiao Pang, or "Chubby"), wheeled itself into the glass pane of an exhibition stand, shattering it.

A person standing nearby was wounded by the shards, and was taken to the hospital, the Liuzhou police said on Weibo, China's Twitter-like microblog.
