PERM, Russia, June 16 (UPI) -- A Russian robot reportedly escaped from its laboratory in the city of Perm and caused a traffic jam by rolling out into the street.
Researchers at Promobot laboratories said the prototype for a new version of the Promobot, a robot designed to interact with humans by answering questions and giving directions, was undergoing tests for its new independent movement feature when it escaped through a gate that had been left open.
