美国巡逻机器人掉进喷泉池 只能等人来救

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

唉，看来机器人还得再多花几年才能占领世界。

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公司制造的一台保安机器人在华盛顿某警区巡逻时，滚到了一处喷泉中，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.'

在华盛顿哈伯警区一名名叫比拉尔·法罗奎的工作人员发文之后，该事件在推特上引起了热议。他在推特上发布了一张该300磅机器人的照片并写道：“我们知道人们将来可以造出会飞的汽车，但是我们先得到了会自杀的机器人。”

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.

这种K5机器人约有5英尺高，租赁给商场、办公楼和停车场使用，装备有内置摄像头、车牌识别器和热成像仪器等。

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.

工作人员们拍下了打捞这台机器人出水的照片，而Knightscope公司也表示将免费更换一台新的机器人。

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

而就在法罗奎发布这台机器人被水淹的照片之后不久，推特用户们都为这张照片疯狂了。

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

吉列尔莫·梅内塞斯分享了一张自己之前和这台机器人站在一起的照片，开玩笑说道：“我永远怀念机器人史蒂夫。”

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

用户克里斯·马汉写道：“放到米缸里等三天会不会还能用？”
