A Chinese humanoid robot demo fed a live infant from a chest dock on a trade show floor, with a second machine handling diaper changes — arms kept the bassinet level, dock lights green. Commentator Tansu Yegen argues robotics is the easy part; consent, safety standards and liability are the hard problems, and "a trade show floor is not a neonatal unit."
