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

A robot escaped from a testing area in Perm, a city not far from the Urals, and made it on to a busy junction, baffling passersby, but also disturbing traffic.

“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.” Kivokurtsev explained.

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.

Nice try, but the robot didn’t get very far, it was forced to stop when its battery died.
Promobot, or promotion robot, is a Perm thing: created and built in Russia, its main functions include those of a host and source of information.

Notorious runaway robot arrested by police at political rally

Notorious runaway robot that has escaped lab twice has been arrested by police at political rally

Police even tried to handcuff the device after a member of public called authorities to complain about the electronic device

A notorious runaway robot - that has escaped from its lab twice - has been arrested by police at a political rally.

Promobot was supporting Russian Parliament candidate Valery Kalachev in Moscow when authorities attempted to handcuff it and take it away.

It is believed that the arrest occurred after a member of public called police as Promobots were recording the opinions of voters on a variety of topics "for further processing and analysis by the candidate's team."

A company spokesman told Inverse magazine: "Police asked to remove the robot away from the crowded area, and even tried to handcuff him.

"According to eyewitnesses, the robot did not put up any resistance."

The robot has hit the headlines in the past, when it escaped from its lab and walked out into oncoming traffic - twice.
