It’s the beginning of the end: An artificially intelligent robot escaped in the Russian city of Perm after an engineer forgot to shut the lab’s gates, BBC reported. Fortunately, the robot, Promobot IR77, wasn’t able to go far in its quest to dominate the world and turn us all into an subservient species — its batteries died out after covering a distance of 50 metres and after having spent 40 minutes at large. This was Promobot IR77’s second escape attempt. Minutes earlier, it was “was undergoing mobility testing and was assigned to move freely about a room for an hour, then return to a designated spot. But early in the test, IR77 slipped through an open door, only to be caught and returned to the room by a programmer,” The Washington Post notes.

Now, Promobot, the robot’s manufacturer, is considering killing IR77 off: “a robot gone AWOL is by definition a ‘faulty’ robot, and that’s dangerous in the same way a wild tiger is dangerous.” The end of Promobot IR77’s trip, after its batteries ran out, was recorded by a passerby as it stood there in the middle of a road blocking traffic (runtime 01:15). Wait until the next the escape-artist robot learns to recharge itself.
