## Summary

Late at night on October 11, a 16-year-old girl outside a fast-food restaurant in Cologne, Germany, was touched on the buttocks from behind by a 1.2-meter-tall Iron Man-shaped humanoid robot that also made sexually suggestive movements; two young people livestreamed the entire incident, and police found the robot and two mobile phones in the trunk of a nearby car, investigating the robot's 16-year-old owner and his 19-year-old companion on suspicion of sexual insult.
