The price of technology: The South Korean fire department has been called to quite a few unusual cases of rescuing civilians in interesting situations. But they didn't expect a woman whose hair was caught by a robot either.
The 52-year-old woman, who goes by the name Yun, woke up at home with severe pain in her head.
She tried to understand what was happening, and soon realized that the robotic vacuum cleaner in her house had 'gone crazy' and started cleaning the house on its own. Like a robot.
But Sion was sleeping on the floor at the time, and the robot that came to her tried to vacuum her hair, which was interfering with its work.
A struggle ensued between the woman and the robot, which the robot eventually won. She was unable to free herself of her hair by any means, and was forced to call the fire department. The fire department arrived quickly and, with joint efforts, managed to save the woman's hair from the stubborn robot.
Firefighters quoted on the British Sky News website said: "We do not know whether the woman continued to use the services of the robotic vacuum cleaner.".
