To attract the attention of pedestrians, the android uses voice modules, saying phrases like "My battery is running low, please help!", actively gesturing, and holding a special bowl in front of itself.

Notably, a QR code is attached to the bowl, allowing for transfers through popular digital payment systems in China.

As reported by the tech community IndiaTech on the Reddit platform, the video sparked lively discussions among users, who began joking about the onset of a cyberpunk era and how artificial intelligence is starting to take jobs even in the fields of charity and street begging.
