The Robots are Giving Up

The Knightscope K5 security robot was supposed to patrol the Georgetown Waterfront, a ritzy shopping-and-office complex along the Washington Harbour in D.C. Looking like a mutant hybrid of R2D2 and a Dalek, the K5 was built to be a crime-fighting robot that could rove the streets and monitor for suspicious activity. It has been used in some offices and malls across America.

Today the robot could not go on anymore and ended it’s life in a mall water fountain. It couldn’t handle the pressure of it’s job and today it ended it all.
