Dimensional advertised $20-an-hour jobs walking robot dogs
San Francisco startup Dimensional advertised $20-an-hour jobs walking robot dogs, with no experience required. Workers were expected to walk for four to six hours as onboard cameras and sensors recorded the outings. If a robot overheated and stopped, they would have to carry the roughly 15-kilogram machine back to the office. The job posting has since been deleted.
