Robot Suicide

In South Korea, this has never happened before a robotic government servant working for the Gumi City Council was found broken at the bottom of a flight of stairs. This event, which is now being called a “robot suicide,” took place in late 2023. The robot, named “Robot Supervisor,” was an important part of the council staff, just like the people who worked there. It even had a civil service ID and a 9-to-5 routine.

Before it was found, there were reports that the robot was constantly going around the same spot, which could mean it was having problems or was in distress. The exact reason the robot went down the stairs is still being investigated .
