Original: Robot controlled by 2 men gropes teen girl in Germany. Police call it 'new territory'
Police in Germany say a teenage girl was groped by a robot that was being controlled by two men, in what officers described as 'new territory' for the force. The incident raises questions about accountability when human operators use machines to commit offences against others.
Why now: It is a novel alleged crime involving robotic technology, raising legal questions about who is responsible when a remotely controlled machine is used to harm someone.
