Robot servant commits suicide | BoingBoing
A Roomba housecleaning robot committed suicide in Austria. Apparently the iRobot Roomba 760’s owner had put the machine on the counter to clean up spilled cereal.
The Robot Launch Pad‘s insight:
I’m probably more concerned that the stove was left on. Once you start leaving the stove on, then any mobile appliance will be toast. :)
