Delivery robot wandering alone in the woods goes viral
The photo, recorded in a forest in Lings Wood, Northampton, went viral on social media. The image, taken by a Northampton University lecturer named Matthew McCormack, showed the robot navigating “on its own”.
Matthew McCormack, who went to the Lings Wood area for a bike ride last Sunday, was shocked to see a delivery robot alone in the woods. Thinking that the robot had lost its way and uploading it to social media to share with his friends, the man managed to enter the agenda of Twitter with more than 240 thousand likes.
Lecturer in History at Northampton University, McCormack has told the BBC some made statements. “When I caught the robot, I took a picture, tweeted it, and thought it might get a few laughs,” he said.
However, the photo received more than 240,000 likes, 20,000 retweets and more than 2,000 responses in just two days. In the amusing statement from Starship Technologies, the manufacturer of the robot, it was said, “It didn’t get lost, it just went on an adventure.”
Social media users who saw the delivery robot taking a stroll in the forest did not neglect to share fun. “He has become sensitized and is using it to go on a mental health walk,” one user said in a response.
While it’s not yet clear why the robot is roaming the woods, manufacturer Starship Technologies says at least it didn’t get lost. In the statement from the company, it was stated that all the robots that roam on their own go to their next customer.
