Intelligent Robot Escapes From Laboratory For Second Time In A Week - Popdust

A robot that is claimed to be so intelligent it can think for itself is set to be scrapped because it keeps escaping from the laboratory it lives in. Last week the Promobot IR77 made a bid for freedom through the streets of the Russian city of Perm where it was developed. The bot, who I'll call Roger, was only captured after he ran out of battery life after escaping through a gate from the exercise yard he was exploring. He had caused chaos as the traffic was forced to swerve to avoid him. Roger is part of a series of robots that have been equipped with artificial intelligence, meaning they learn from their experiences and surroundings.
