Stalker Robot?

A research assistant at Toshiba’s Akimu Robotic Research Institute was trapped in a lab by a robot which repeatedly hugged her.

A female intern would spend several hours each day testing and loading new software into Kenji, the hugging robot. When it was time to leave one evening, Kenji refused to let the intern leave and used his body to block the doorway and repeatedly hugged her. After phoning two staff members, the intern was finally able to leave. This will definitely be some trauma for her! If the staff members came late, Kenji may have committed something worth capital punishment.
