Robot escapes testing grounds, disturbs traffic in Russia (VIDEO)

"The robot was learning automatic movement algorithms on the testing ground, these functions will feature in the latest version of the Promobot." The co-founder of the robot's maker, Oleg Kivokurtsev, told ura.ru news agency. "Our engineer drove onto the testing ground and forgot to close the gates. So the robot escaped and went on his little adventure." The team only noticed their brainchild was missing 45 minutes into the robot's travel stint and by the time they located it, there was already a crowd of puzzled citizens and the police had arrived.
