Artificial Intelligence Robot With Ability to Learn Escaped Facility Twice. Will Be Destroyed

For the second time in a week, a robot in Russia that is programmed with advanced artificial intelligence as well as an ability to learn from experiences and about its surroundings has escaped the facility that it is housed in. A robot in Russia caused an unusual traffic jam last week after it "escaped" from a research lab, and now, the artificially intelligent bot is making headlines again after it reportedly tried to flee a second time, according to news reports. Engineers at the Russian lab reprogrammed the intelligent machine, dubbed Promobot IR77, after last week's incident, but the robot recently made a second escape attempt, The Mirror reported. Last week, the robot made it approximately 160 feet (50 meters) to the street, before it lost power and "partially paralyzed" traffic. The first time the robot escaped it was due to an improperly latched gate.
