Chinese tycoon takes 8 humanoid robot maids shopping so they can carry his bags

The man was photographed in a shopping mall while the robot servants patiently waited for him before following him out of the stores holding his bags. We've all got a little carried away at the shops and wished we had an extra pair of hands to help carry the bags. But how about eight humanoid robots dressed as maids
who could assist with the load? That's what this wealthy Chinese tycoon decided to do when he was spotted out and about with the bizarre entourage last week.



The Chinese businessman could be seen shopping in a jewellers while the maids waited for him 
The middle-aged man turned plenty of heads when he took the human-like machines with him as he shopped in a mall in Guangzhou, China. Photographs showed the robots carrying - along with his selection of designer shopping bags - the businessman's water, coat and towel.
 
They could be seen waiting patiently for him while he shopped for gold in a jewellery store before patiently following behind him when he left.
The robot servants could also be seen standing around holding his belongings while he enjoyed a drink at a cafe.
But the unnamed tycoon has been blasted by the Chinese media, who described him as a "tuhao" which is a slang word to describe someone who got rich overnight but has no taste.
