"Umm, rock-paper-scissors," Kim Kardashian says in an Instagram video. The robot answers by lifting its hands, and the reality TV star chuckles, saying, "Oh, raise the roof!" Yap."
Kim makes the opening move in the game, which the robot follows. As it loses the game, the socialist remarks, "Oh! You are a little slow. "I beat you." What happens next is fascinating. When the robot loses a game, it throws its hands up, as people do to express frustration.
The wealthy reality star-turned-mogul presented the robot on X with this caption. She also released a video of herself waving "Hi" to the robot and saying, "Can you do this?" while making a heart sign with her hand.
The robot swiftly follows her lead and completes the hand gesture, surprising Kim, who exclaims, "You know how to do that!" According to Fortune, when the robots first debuted, they were operated by handlers rather than autonomously.

However, it is unclear whether Kim's videos show a handler or the robot acting independently.
