South Korean woman's hair 'eaten' by robot vacuum
cleaner as she slept
The woman was sleeping on the floor of her home when
the robotic cleaner ingested her hair leaving her in agony.
Firefighters try to rescue a woman at her house in
Changwon, southeast South Korea after her hair was
sucked into a robot vacuum cleaner (Q1). She lost
about 10 strands of hair but was not injured.
When a South Korean woman invested in a robot
vacuum cleaner, the idea was to leave her trustworthy
gadget to do its work (Q2) while she took a break from
household chores.
Instead, the 52-year-old (Q3) resident of Changwon city
ended up being the victim of what many believe is a peek
into a dystopian future in which supposedly benign robots
turn against their human masters.
The woman, whose name is being withheld (Q4), was
taking a nap on the floor at home when the vacuum
cleaner locked on to her hair and sucked it up, apparently
mistaking it for dust.
The agony of having her hair entangled (Q5) in the
bowels of the contraption roused the woman from her
slumber.
Unable to free herself, she called the fire department
(Q6) with a “desperate rescue plea” and was separated
from the robot’s clutches by paramedics, according to the
South Korean newspaper the Kyunghyang Shinmun.
She escaped serious injury, although it is not known
whether she has retained the autonomous cleaner’s
services (Q7).
Robot vacuum cleaners have grown in popularity in
recent years, with US firm iRobot’s circular Roomba
selling well over 10 million units (Q8) in the 12 years
since its debut in 2002 (Q9).
Panasonic recently unveiled Rulo, a triangular rival to
Roomba that the Japanese firm says is more adept at
sucking up dust from corners.
The wheeled gadgets are equipped with sensors that
enable them to steer clear of obstacles, avoid tumbling
down stairs, and detect dust and other debris on the floor.
They can also be programmed to seek out a recharging
dock.
Korean Biz Wire pointed out, however (Q10), that people
from cultures in which it’s commonplace
to sit or nap on
the floor - such as Japan and South Korea – may be
more vulnerable to vacuum robot rage.
