'Little Chubby' Robot Goes Rogue; 1 Injured In Bizarre Incident

The robot is designed for education and aimed at children between the ages of 4 and 12, What's On Weibo reported. After this incident, however, parents will likely think twice before leaving a kid alone with this machine. According to Mashable, a statement on the company's website said the robot has sensors to stop it from hitting things when on its own, but those were disabled when the control panel was open. Over the summer, a robot security guard at the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto, California, knocked over a child and injured his leg. Although Knightscope, the company that makes the robot, apologized to the family, it also insisted that the robot was actually trying to avoid the child when the two collided.
