“Can someone please pass me the plant pot?” the robot asked when it needed help retrieving the item from a desk top.
Instead, Bamm-Bamm stopped and told the royal he had brought him a plant. William politely responded, “Thank you,” with a laugh.
“Please make sure you are holding the object, and I will let go,” the robot told him. After William assured him he had a good grip, Bamm-Bamm let go.
