City robots doused in beer and violently attacked as police hunt suspects
2026-05-31
[NYPost] Northern California police are on the hunt for two men who attacked and poured beer on city robots tasked with surveying the city’s sidewalks for safety improvements.

The Hollister Police Department said that the two new robotic assessment units from Daxbot operating in the city this week were attacked by vandals who kicked and knocked the robots over while they were doing assessment of sidewalks, curbs, etc. for accessibility and ADA compliance.

Surveillance footage captured by the robot camera showed in one incident a person riding up on a bike, before knocking the robot over on its side and taking off, per the department’s post on Facebook.
