Government robot falls down stairs and is destroyed
A robot employed by the Gumi City Council in South Korea fell six and a half feet down a set of stairs and was destroyed. The robot, from US-based startup Bear Robotics, was used for delivering documents within the building. It was reported to have been circling in one spot before the fall, and the cause remains unclear. The city council has decided not to replace the robot.
