🇨🇳 Saw my first actually useful robot

You know those toll way machines and you're always too far off the machine and have to hang out the window to pay, or you're too close and your wheel hits the side

In Beijing they have a robot arm for it

Although to be fair in Europe we just have a sensor we glue to the windshield and it auto charges your bank via IBAN

So maybe not so useful

But it looks cool!
