Thermal runway defective battery caused UC Berkeley to catch fire

An autonomous transport robot used for carrying food to hungry college students went up in flames on Friday at UC Berkeley.

No students were injured during the incident.

Kiwi — the company behind the food delivery robots — cited the same battery problem that plagued Galaxy Note 7 phones as the root cause of the combustion.
