An robot crushed a worker to death at a vegetable packaging plant in South Korea, police said.
An industrial robot crushed a worker to death at a vegetable packaging plant in South Korea, police said Thursday, as they investigated whether the machine was unsafe or had potential defects. Police officials in the southern county of Goseong said the man died of head and chest injuries Tuesday after he was grabbed and pressed against a conveyor belt by the machine’s robotic arms.
“It wasn’t an advanced, artificial intelligence-powered robot, but a machine that simply picks up boxes and puts them on pallets,” said Kang Jin-gi, who heads the investigations department at Gosong Police Station. He said the police were working with related agencies to determine whether the machine had technical defects or safety issues.
