Back to main discussion

Towin Mak, a representative from the educator center that owned the robot, explained to TDM that the incident happened as the robot was leaving the area. The woman stopped in the middle of the walkway to check her phone, and because the robot couldn’t get around, it simply waited behind her, he claimed. That’s when she noticed the robot with its lights on, startling her, given the late hour.

If I discovered a robot standing silently behind me on the street, I would also have a lil’ freakout

Sounds like it’s a glorified Marty from the grocery store. Just grumble and go around it. Also, pay attention.

Why would you go around it when it’s behind you? 🤔

After you notice it. She did eventually notice it. But I’m speaking generally about these things malfunctioning or even doing what they’re supposed to do and wait for you, the obstruction. Maybe this situation isn’t exactly like the grocery store robot.
