A robot went out of control at a technology fair in southern China’s Guangdong province Thursday, smashing a glass window and injuring a visitor....
An employee at Shenzhen Spreadview Century told Sixth Tone by phone that the staffer tried to pick up the robot, but that Fabo’s weight — 25 kilograms — was too much to handle, and the operator accidentally pushed the wrong button. Fabo’s automatic mode was turned off, which meant it could not avoid collisions by itself, he said... .

Smashing windows and injuring someone. Maybe they can replace all those paid human anarchist snowflakes “protesting” because they may have to pay for their own college.
And by all means....let’s have self driving cars and tractor trailers. /S
“You have 30seconds to comply…”
Apparently “I, Robot” was never translated into Mandarin.
One of the funniest movies ever. “More Input. MORE Innnputt”!

...The person operating Fabo hit the “forward” button instead of “reverse,”...
...the operator accidentally pushed the wrong button. Fabo’s automatic mode was turned off...

My bad. I have to admit I didn’t read all. Sorry. Still, the idea of self driving vehicles scare me.
Sure, he LOOKS innocent enough. But wait till he gets a few belts of Old Direct Current under his circuit board. Underneath that paste-on smiley face lurks the code of a T2000.
Another lying headline. “goes rogue “
This plays on the delusion of small minds that robots will rebel and then turn against humans.
A robot will do whatever its program tells it to.
#5 ALIVE!
The pneumatic system on that one is working well!
Ask any pilot,almost always human error.
I wear flip-up sun lenses and in the stores, for some reason, the small kids stare at me in fascination.
Occasionally I'll catch the parent's eye and I'll say "No. 5 is alive". It goes right over them. :-)
