The news of people committing suicide is often heard. Some choose this path when faced with unbearable situations at various turns of life. But the suicide of the robot? No, even though no such news has come out for a long time, this is the first time in South Korea that this incident has happened in South Korea. A robot engaged in administrative work at the country’s Gumi City Council has committed suicide, authorities said.
The robot was found in a broken state between the stairs of the first and second floors of the Gumi Council building. Eyewitnesses said that the robot was seen searching for something before the incident.
Locals are describing the incident as the first ‘suicide’ of a robot. Many people on social media are thinking that this robot may have died due to excessive work pressure.
According to Gumi City Council authorities, the robot was mainly used to give various information to the citizens of the city and fetch documents. Gumi City Council is mourning the ‘death’ of the robot. An emotional officer of Gumi Council told the media, “This robot was part of the city hall. He was one of us.’
The Gumi City Council will examine the pieces of the robot to determine the cause of the incident. It is known that this robot was developed by US-based startup Bear Robotics. This robot used to work at the Gumi City Council from 9 am to 4 pm every day. While other robots work on any one floor, this robot itself was able to perform tasks by going to different floors through the elevator.
