If you're worried about a dystopian future where robots take over the earth, perhaps this will calm your nerves.
Twitter user Nathan Lawrence, a self-described "connoisseur of weird robot vacuum issues," recently shared a hilarious example on the platform in a tweet that has gone viral.

As you can see, his robot vacuum shut off after it turned into a spring door stopper, which pressed up against the device's imperfectly placed on/off switch.
BOING. (Don't tell me you didn't also hear that spring door stopper noise when you saw that photo.)

Lawrence tells Mashable that the model number of this particular vacuum is the Shark RV100AE. He says that this issue would occur almost every morning.
A quick Google Search pulled up at least one other instance, sharedby a user on Reddit, of this exact same issue happening with the Shark vacuum.
"I used to buy a bunch of vacuums from eBay or Craigslist and repair them, so I experienced a bunch of different types [of weird robot vacuum issues] over time," Lawrence told Mashable. However, this one is his favorite.
On Twitter, he noted that "there’s a 'unit tests vs. production environment' metaphor in here somewhere. The robot vacuum's manufacturer didn't seem to come across any spring door stoppers when testing out the Shark RV100AE for any possible flaws.
There are some truly dystopianexamples out therenowadays concerning AI and robots.
But, being that the vast majority of robots out there are more like the Shark RV100AE than, say, Boston Dynamics, we're thinking you don't have to worry about Skynet quite yet.
