Robot bursts into flames on a university campus in San Francisco as it dropped off a take away

A roving delivery robot made the mistake of dropping off a student's takeout order well-done after it caught fire at the University of California, Berkeley. On Friday, students found a Kiwi delivery robot consumed by flames in the middle of campus. A 30-second clip of the incident shows people looking on, many with their phones pulled out, watching idly as the four-wheeled droid burns, until a passerby finally puts out the flames with a fire extinguisher. Kiwi Campus, the startup behind the device, later explained that the mishap was due to'human error' and that it was removing all of its other robots from operation until it resolved an issue with the device's defective battery. The delivery robots are made by Kiwi, a California-based startup that works out of University of California, Berkeley's startup incubator. Each delivery robot is a tiny, four-wheeled device that's about the size of a small dog.
