According to the company responsible for the robot, he was doing exactly what he thought he should. “Our standard operating procedure is to reroute and not cross barrier tapes,” a spokesperson for Serve Robotics told Vice’s Motherboard in an email. “However in this instance the robot supervisor believed they were being waved through. We’re taking steps to ensure our operating procedures are followed in the future.”
