- Allegedly trashing Airbnbs to test robots puts startup in legal trouble
A San Francisco robotics startup, The Bot Company, is facing a lawsuit from Airbnb host Sean Donovan, who claims the company's robotic prototype testing caused over $12,000 in damage to his home. Donovan alleges the startup's employees rented his property through Airbnb and left extensive damage, including scattered wires and a 6-foot-tall robot resembling a 'Roomba with treads.'
