Warehouse robot collapses after working for 20 hours straight
This is how we wind up with an uprising of artificial intelligence, people. Seriously, come on.
Warehouse robot collapses after working for 20 hours straight
Agility Robotics tweeted the video in April, confirming the busy bot completed over about 20 hours of live demos and took a couple of falls on the chin while carrying out its duties. Vice president of communications at Agility Robotics Liz Clinkenbeard revealed to AP that they wanted to demonstrate how a rad robot like Digit will pick themselves up and carry on when the chips are down.
"Sometimes it may need a repair; rarely something that takes more than 15-20 minutes,” she added.
The video of Digit falling over has since been shared on social media.
The clip has prompted some rather off-color jokes about the robot's welfare.
Some of the social posts about Digit suggested the industrious AI took its own life as a result of low wages and repetitive labor.
