Starship robot knocks child in shopping centre

A Starship delivery robot reportedly "hit and pushed" a two-tyear-old boy in the Brunel shopping center in Milton Keynes, UK, leaving him "stressed and scared". 

The boy, who was walking with his mother, was knocked over by the robot, which failed to stop and continued on its delivery route. Fortunately, he did not sustain any injuries, but the experience reportedly left him frightened.

The child's parent reported the incident on a neighborhood social media platform, expressing dissatisfaction with Starship's response, which included a GBP 5 discount offer. Starship stated that they take such incidents seriously and are looking into the matter.

The incident sparked discussions about the safety of Starship delivery robots in public spaces, with mixed reactions from the community regarding their presence and behaviour.
