A Qualcomm-powered humanoid robot collapsed at a stage during a demonstration at Computex 2026 in Taipei. The ’embarrassing’ moment for the US firm came during the Taiwan event earlier this month featuring the robot, powered by Dragonwing IQ10 AI chip. Visuals doing rounds on internet showed the robot presenting Qualcomm’s new AI chips during the keynote address. The robot performed its designed ‘safe-collapse’ sequence, lowering itself to its knees to protect the environment around it. The incident also provided valuable real-world data that is helping to further strengthen system reliability and accelerate development of safer, more resilient robotics,” the Qualcomm statement read.
