The American reality TV star displayed her playful side in a series of Instagram Story videos by interacting with the robot, which is rumoured to have cost between $20,000 and $30,000. In one clip, Kim excitedly declared, “Umm, rock-paper-scissors,” as she challenged Optimus to a game. The robot lifted its hands in response, prompting Kim to laugh and quip, “Oh, raise the roof! Yap.” The two went head-to-head in the game, but when Optimus lost, Kim teased it with a playful, “Oh! You’re a little slow. I beat you.” What happens next is quite amusing. In response to its defeat, the robot raises its arms in a gesture that humans often use to express frustration, giving the interaction a humorous touch. Advertisement
