A robot vacuum cleaner took photographs of a woman sat on the toilet, with the images ending up being shared on Facebook.
The iRobot Roomba robot vacuum entered the bathroom and took intimate images of the woman before they were circulated among closed social media groups.
They were taken by a development version of the cleaning robot and sent to Scale AI, a software start-up with contracted workers from across the globe.
Their job is to categorise data which is then used to train artificial intelligence, such as the robot vacuum.
This helps them to more accurately map their surroundings in the home, avoid obstacles, understand the size of a room and tailor its cleaning pattern better.
