Philly professor arrested for blocking delivery robots says she'd do it again

A 78-year-old retired professor in Philadelphia has vowed to continue protesting delivery robots after she was arrested for repeatedly standing in their way, arguing that her actions were an exercise of free speech and a protest against technology taking over public spaces.Carolyn Marvin, a retired communications professor at the University of Pennsylvania, said blocking autonomous delivery robots had become a habit since the small, wheeled machines began operating on Philadelphia’s streets and sidewalks.October 14 was not the first time Marvin had placed herself in front of one of the robots. She would stop them for a few minutes as they travelled along the sidewalk carrying food orders.“I was under the impression that I had more rights than the robot did,” Marvin said to CNN in an inerview.The October 14 incident ended with her arrest.
