In a first, Robot commits suicide in South Korea

An executive officer robot that the Gumi City Council in South Korea hired was found to be dead after it fell down a set of stairs. People in the area are sad about this, and it’s being called the first robot suicide case in the country.

The broken robot worker was found in the hallway between the first and second floors of the council building. The robot was found by the city council in the East Asian country last month after it had fallen down a two-meter (six-and-a-half-foot) stairs and stopped moving.

Some people said they saw the robot cop “spinning in one spot as if something was there” before the smash. A city council source told AFP that the exact cause of the fall is still being looked into by the police.

The official said the company had taken the robot’s parts and would look at them more closely. The group gave the robot “daily document deliveries, city advertising, and delivered information” to those living there.

As soon as the news spread, several local news sites began to question the apparent robot suicide.

“Why did the diligent civil officer do it?” Another one asked if it was “too hard” for the robot to work while the first one read the news.

The robot government worker

The robot executive officer was hired in August of last year. People in Gumi City, the country, say it was one of the foremost to be used in this way.

Bear Robotics, a Californian company that makes robot waiters, made it.

The robot used to work at the Gumi City Council from 9 AM to 6 PM, and the government gave it a civil service officer card.

Some robots stay on one floor, but the one owned by the Gumi City Council could call a lift and go to different floors on its own.

The news reference said that the Gumi City Council does not intend to get a second robot cop at this time.

Only a few countries around the world are excited about using robots. South Korea is one of them. It is thought that the government has the most robots per square mile of any in the world.

The International Federation of Robotics says that for every 10 people who work in South Korea, there is one workplace robot.
