Watch: Cute hotel robot in China brings food to Australian vlogger, says ‘I Am Working, Don’t Disturb’
An Australian vlogger got a delightful surprise at a Chinese hotel when a charming service robot delivered her food, engaging in a brief chat before zipping off to continue its duties.
In her recent reel, Josie shares this amusing experience. She received a call informing her that the robot was on its way with her delivery. Anticipating its arrival, she heard the robot announce its presence outside her door. Greeting it with a friendly “Ni Hao,” Josie watched as the robot opened its container to reveal her food. After tapping the touchscreen to close the container, she bid the robot farewell. The robot amusingly replied, “I am working. Don’t disturb,” and scooted off with a cheerful "bubbye."

The internet had mixed reactions to this interaction. Some users were skeptical about a future with service robots and humanoids among us, while others found the experience delightful. Comments ranged from concerns about robots taking over jobs in the service sector to lighthearted jokes about how the vlogger’s politeness might pay off in a robot uprising. A few users humorously noted that if it were an American robot, it might have asked for a tip before leaving.
