Silicon Valley Security Guard Robot Injures Toddler
The K5 robot stands 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 300 pounds. Robots make cheap security guards, but they don't necessarily make the best security guards. Last week, a guard robot at Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto, California, collided with a 16-month-old and kept driving. It amuses shoppers of all ages, but last Thursday, 16-month-old Harwin Cheng had a frightening collision with the robot. "The robot hit my son's head and he fell down facing down on the floor and the robot did not stop and it kept moving forward," Harwin's mom Tiffany Teng said.
