‘Robot drowned’: Twitter baffled by cyborg’s apparent ‘suicide’ (PHOTOS)
In another example of internet madness, the ‘death’ of a security robot in a Washington DC office fountain is making waves online.
On Monday, news that a Knightscope security robot had fallen into a fountain was relayed on Twitter by Bilal Farooqui.

“Our DC office building got a security robot. It drowned itself. We were promised flying cars, instead we got suicidal robots,” Farooqui said.
From there internet denizens chimed in with their own theories, with some mocking and mourning the robot’s fate.

In the classic government response to th his embarrassing failure the budgets for robot design need to be doubled. Additionally hazard barriers need to be constructed around hazards to said robots.
