The video, posted on TikTok, shows the delivery robots struggling to navigate in the snowy conditions.

Four robots are seen getting stuck along their journey before getting kicked by a construction worker wearing an orange jumpsuit. 

The ‘grocery badgers’, which have been spotted around Cambridge, are programmed to pick up supplies from supermarket Co-op and deliver them to residents.

The robots use a combination of machine learning, AI, and sensors to navigate their way along the streets however the challenging winter conditions have proved too much for them.

It is not known whether the man kicking the robots was trying to help them on their way or not.

However, the force of the kick has caused social media users to express their concern for the ‘little guys’.

One TikTok user commented: “Why did he kick them? I even felt sorry,” with another suggesting that instead of kicking it, the man should have helped it on its way and they “need better wheels for the winter”.

A spokesperson for Starship told the Daily Mail: “The overwhelming majority of residents in Cambridge have really taken in our robots as part of the community and we’re proud to serve them. 

“On this occasion though, our little robots will remember this unfriendly human, ready for the inevitable robot uprising scheduled sometime in the future.”
