On Monday, a Knightscope K5 security robot in Washington DC suffered a watery demise after falling into an office building fountain. The mishap was spotted by passers-by whose photos of the aftermath quickly went viral on social media.

For some, the incident seemed to sum up the state of 21st Century technology. “We were promised flying cars, instead we got suicidal robots,” wrote one worker from the building on Twitter. Greg Pinelo also posted the picture on Twitter depicting the mishap.

Onlookers at the office complex discovered a curious sight: the body of a security robot, floating face-down in a fountain. The Knightscope K5 autonomous security ground vehicle is able to “detect unusual activity and report it for humans to investigate,” according to the company’s website.

Kristian De Meo of MRP Realty, which manages Washington Harbour, tells NPR’s All Things Considered the K5 unit was new to the facility. She says the robot —which they’ve nicknamed Steve, an acronym for Security Technology Enhancement Vehicle— “has spent a little over a week where Knightscope has been on-site programming it and also mapping out the property.”

“Evidently, yesterday it faced its first challenge in the form of a small fountain,” De Meo adds.

Knightscope responded via twitter:

Stacy Dean Stephens, VP President Marketing & Sales at Knightscope stated that no one was hurt in the “isolated event” that the company is currently investigating. They say a replacement will be delivered to Washington Harbour at no extra cost.
