美國巡邏機器人掉進噴泉池 只能等人來救

Alas, it seems we've got a few more years before the robots take over.

唉，看來機器人還得再多花幾年才能佔領世界。

A security robot created by the company Knightscope was patrolling an office complex in Washington D.C. when it rolled into a fountain and met its untimely demise.

日前，由Knightscope公司製造的一臺保安機器人在華盛頓某警區巡邏時，滾到了一處噴泉中，不幸'英年早逝'。

The incident went viral on Twitter after Bilal Farooqui, an employee at the Washington Harbour complex, tweeted a photo of the 300-pound android, writing: 'We were promised flying cars, instead we got suicidal robots.'

在華盛頓哈伯警區一名名叫比拉爾·法羅奎的工作人員發文之後，該事件在推特上引起了熱議。他在推特上發佈了一張該300磅機器人的照片並寫道：“我們知道人們將來可以造出會飛的汽車，但是我們先得到了會自殺的機器人。”

The K5 robot, which measures about five-feet tall, is rented out to malls, office buildings, and parking lots to enforce order with a built-in video camera, license plate recognition, and thermal imaging.

這種K5機器人約有5英尺高，租賃給商場、辦公樓和停車場使用，裝備有內置攝像頭、車牌識別器和熱成像儀器等。

Employees were pictured hauling the robot out of the water, and Knightscope said it would deliver a new robot to the office building for free.

工作人員們拍下了打撈這臺機器人出水的照片，而Knightscope公司也表示將免費更換一臺新的機器人。

After Farooqui posted a photo of the robot partially submerged, Twitter users went wild over the image.

而就在法羅奎發佈這臺機器人被水淹的照片之後不久，推特用戶們都爲這張照片瘋狂了。

Guillermo Meneses shared a previous photo of himself standing next to the robot, joking: 'My remembrance moment with Steve the Robot.'

吉列爾莫·梅內塞斯分享了一張自己之前和這臺機器人站在一起的照片，開玩笑說道：“我永遠懷念機器人史蒂夫。”

User Chris Mahan tweeted: 'Just put it in a big bowl of rice and wait three days.'

用戶克里斯·馬漢寫道：“放到米缸裏等三天會不會還能用？”
