The South Korea Gumi City Council has explained how their first administrative officer robot committed suicide. On Wednesday, the council said that the robot was found defunct after an apparent fall down a staircase, prompting local media to speculate about the country’s first case of robot suicide. The incident occurred last week when the robot was discovered unresponsive at the bottom of a two-meter (six-and-a-half foot) staircase. Made by Bear Robotics, a Californian startup known for their robot waiters, this particular robot worked from 9 am to 6 pm and had its own civil service officer card. Currently, the Gumi City Council has no plans to adopt a second robot officer, as confirmed to AFP.
