Robot vacuum attempts to eat woman's head

Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking both warned us that artificial intelligence would be what ends humanity. Last week a South Korean woman was attacked by her robot vacuum cleaner. Does this spell the beginning of the end?

The innocent woman unsuspectingly purchased her robot vacuum to relieve her daily stresses and not have to worry about vacuuming her floors. But instead, the 52 year old’s robot servant turned on her while she was taking a nap.

The woman, whose name can’t be revealed, presumably for her own safety, was unable to free herself from the machine after it sucked up and trapped her hair.


The attack lasted several minutes before she was able to stop it. The woman immediately phoned the local emergency services, with the fire department soon showing up to complete a daring, desperate rescue. Paramedics were also involved in the operation, helping to remove the evil robot from the woman’s head.

She was lucky to escape any serious injury, however the fate of her previously faithful machine is unknown.

Korean Biz Wire noted that in cultures like South Korea it is common for people to take naps on the floor, leaving them more vulnerable to vicious robot vacuum cleaners like this.

The future is a dangerous place.
