They just can’t handle the stairs
Staircase of terror.- A delivery robot forgot to deliver a package and still fell down the stairs from the house where the delivery was to be made.
For some years now, it has been speculated that robots will begin to carry out courier jobs, something that has already begun to happen in some countries, especially with the use of drones.
The STAIRS will save the world from the apocalypse.
At an exhibition in China, a robot slipped and began to lose control intensely.

This robot did not deliver the package as expected
However, the delivery of packages using terrestrial automata continues to face obstacles, especially when it comes to climbing stairs, a maneuver that, no matter how much they say they can already do it, seems to be a challenge that mechatronics has not yet mastered.
With this in mind, a technology company in Austin, Texas, conducted tests with one of these automated delivery driversâwho are not going on strike or want double pay on holidaysâto test the effectiveness of their new creation.
Just when the android managed to climb the stairs, he seemed to regret leaving the package on the porch of the house and, when trying to return, he tripped on the stairs and fell to the ground as if he had seen his life pass by in Windows XP format.
This confirms what has already happened on other occasions with this type of automated machines: no matter how much they speed up processes, there is no way they can replace human laborespecially that of your office colleague who goes to the bathroom seven times and spends two hours watching reels on her cell phone.
