A Co-op delivery robot operated by Starship Technologies collided with a pedestrian's dog and then struck the pedestrian's leg in Milton Keynes. The pedestrian, Brian Dawson, reported that the robot's sensors appeared to malfunction, causing it to continue moving despite obstructions. Dawson complained to the Co-op store manager, who said the robot was not his responsibility. The Co-op declined to comment, and Starship Technologies did not respond to requests for comment.
