US-based Southwest Airlines has officially banned ‘human-like or animal-like robots’ from all its flights, following ‘Stewie’, a humanoid robot that boarded its flight on May 7.
According to the new policy, "Southwest Airlines does not allow human-like or animal-like robots to be transported in the cabin or as checked baggage, regardless of size or purpose…All other robots, including toys, must be able to fit within a carry-on size bag and comply with existing battery restrictions."
In a humorous response, Stewie said, "It's a total conspiracy, I swear they don't want us robots peeking at the clouds, seeing what's really up there, my dreams got clipped faster than a bad haircut."
