The footage, which surfaced on TikTok and Twitter, has since been shared by multiple users, gaining millions of views.

Some users expressed their concern for the robot's welfare, calling for better working conditions and even jokingly suggesting the robot needed a raise or new batteries.
The conversation has raised questions about the ethics of AI and the treatment of machines in the workforce.
History of Robot "Deaths"
The recent incident is not the first instance of a robot shutting down or "committing suicide." In 2013, a cleaning robot reportedly "decided to turn itself off" and burned to ashes after climbing onto a kitchen hotplate.
These cases highlight the need to consider the implications of using AI in everyday life and the importance of ethical considerations in the development and implementation of such technology.
