While the cause of the fall remains under investigation, reports questioned whether the robot was asked ‘to work too hard’. The officials have collected the parts for analysis and they are being probed by the robot’s manufacturer.
“Pieces have been collected and will be analysed by the company,” an official said.
The robot, operational since August 2023, was developed by Bear Robotics, the California-based robot-waiter company.
Unlike most service robots restricted to single floors, the Gumi City Council robot independently navigated the building, calling elevators to move between levels.
The robot reportedly “helped with daily document deliveries, city promotion, and delivered information” to local residents.
Reportedly, the Gumi City Council has announced that it is postponing its plans to deploy another robot officer in the wake of this incident.
According to the International Federation of Robotics, South Korea is known for its adoption of robots, with one industrial robot for every 10 employees.
