In a statement posted on its site, the manufacturer apologized for the incident, and explained that a staff member was trying to move the robot aside when he accidentally pressed the key to move back, not forward.
The robot rolled away from his grasp and he could not stop it in time, the company said.

Xiao Pang is also equipped with a webcam, and can potter around the home helping parents keep an eye on their kids. It can also conduct two-way video calls.
Beijing Science and Tech noted that since the robot went into mass production in September, more than 3,000 Xiao Pangs have been sold. It retails for 9,988 yuan ($1,448).
