Silicon Valley Security Robot Attacked by Drunk Man
April 27th, 2017
I wonder what will happen when the food delivery bots go rolling past homeless people camped on sidewalks…
Via: BBC:
A California man has been arrested after attacking a crime prevention robot in a car park, police say.
The Knightscope machine was on patrol outside the Silicon Valley company that created it when the alleged attacker approached, witnesses say.
The 300lb (136kg) robot raised the alarm after it was allegedly knocked over by 41-year-old Jason Sylvain.
He said he was an engineer who wanted to “test” the machine, said a Knightscope representative.
Mr Sylvain has been charged with public intoxication in the 19 April incident.
The robot suffered a few scratches, but has “recuperated” and is back on patrol, said Knightscope.
