‘Supermarket badgers’, which have been seen in Cambridge, are scheduled to collect supplies from the Co-op supermarket and deliver them to residents.
The robots use a combination of machine learning, artificial intelligence and sensors to navigate the streets, however the challenging winter conditions have proved too much for them.
It is unknown if the man kicking the robots was trying to help them on their way or not.
However, the force of the kick has caused users of social networks to express their concern for the ‘little ones’.

It seems the ‘grocery store badgers’ are causing division, as some felt sorry for them, while others saw them as a nuisance.
One TikTok user commented: ‘Why did he kick them? I even felt sorry,’ and another suggested that instead of kicking him, the man should have helped him on his way and that they ‘need better wheels for the winter.’
Another robot fan said: “I like these little ones, they always give me a laugh when I see them go around obstacles.”
While another hinted at possible concern that robots were taking jobs away from humans by saying, “Awww poor robots leave them alone they’re just trying to do OUR jobs.”

One user said he works for Co-op and claimed that the company is “eliminating robots” as “78%” of deliveries have a problem.
Some viewers really weren’t fans of ‘grocery store badgers’, with one stating that the pavement is for humans and to ‘turn your back’ on them.
A Starship spokesperson said: “The vast majority of Cambridge residents have truly embraced our robots as part of the community and we are proud to serve them.”
“This time, however, our little robots will be reminiscent of this unsympathetic human, ready for the inevitable robot uprising scheduled in the future.”
