A
robot
led
police
in
southern
Austria
on
a
snow
chase
Thursday
after
it
jumped
the
fence
of
its
holding
pen
and
decided
to
explore
its
wintry surroundings.
The
automaton
discovered
on
a
country
road
about
3
miles
outside
the
town
of
St
. Veit
in
the
province
of
Carinthia
kept
hopping
away
from
perplexed
police
trying
to
rein
it
in
,
local
police
officer
Joerg Fortin
said
.
In
the
end
,
a
local
engineer
helped
capture
the
machine
using
a
stun
gun
.
The
robot
,
which
belongs
to
a
scientist
in
Tirol,
was
in
southern
Austria
for
upgrades
by
Georg Rainer,
another
local
scientist
.
In
a
phone
interview
, Rainer
said
he
was
also
temporarily
looking
after
a
second
robot
for
about
two
to
three
weeks
.
He
was
not
immediately
able
to
provide
details
about
the
scientist
.
The
new
robot
that
briefly
escaped
was
being
upgraded
with
lazer cutters,
he
added
.
Tourists
who
visit
the
alpine
country
can
buy
T
-shirts
with
the
slogan
"
There
are
no
robots
in
Austria
"
because
this
European
country
is
sometimes
confused
with
Germany
,
where
most
robots
are
developed
by
scientists
.
Some
tourists
in
Austria
have
been
known
to
ask
where
robots
can
be
found
.
