    Are robots really happy to work for humans? Recently, a robot ran away to be free.
    Scientists in the Russian city of Perm tested a new, smart robot called “Promobot.”
    However, someone forgot to close the door to the testing area. A robot then went
    through the door and it traveled about 165 feet (50 meters) when its batteries5 died.
    Russian Channel TV shows the robot stopped in the middle of a roadway. It caused a
    traffic jam . Scientists later came to get the robot after about 50 minutes. Oleg
    Kivokurtsev, who works at the testing center, said, “Our engineer drove onto the
    testing ground and forgot to close the gates. So the robot escaped and went on his
    little adventure .” No one was hurt.
