San Francisco technology company Dimensional posted a job listing offering 20 dollars an hour for workers to walk robot dogs, UPI and Gadget Review reported. The listing was published in the Bay Area Jobs group on Facebook and has since been deleted, according to UPI. [1][5]

UPI reported that the company required robot dog walkers to spend at least four to six hours walking the computer-brained machines in public areas across the city. Applicants were required to be capable of safely handling equipment weighing about 33 pounds. [1]
