First case of robot suicide: Overworked South Korean droid throws itself down stairs

A robot working for the Gumi City Council in South Korea was recently found unresponsive at the bottom of a two-meter staircase. Locals are labelling it country’s first robot “suicide”.

According to The Daily Mail, the incident occurred on June 20 around 4 pm. Witnesses who saw the robot a few minutes before it “took its own life,” said that the robot, dubbed ‘Robot Supervisor’ was behaving strangely and “circling in one spot as if something was there.”
