ARE ROBOTS HUMAN FRIENDLY????

A worker at a Volkswagen factory in Germany has died, after a robot grabbed him and crushed him against a metal plate.

The 22-year-old man died in hospital following the tragic incident at a plant in Baunatal on Monday, around 100km north of Frankfurt.

The victim was working as part of a team installing the robot when it grasped hold of him, according to the German car manufacturer.

Volkswagen spokesman Heiko Hillwig told the Associated Press that officials believe that human error was to blame for the incident, rather than a problem with the robot.

Prosecutors are now considering whether to bring charges, and if so, against whom, German news agency dpa reported.

A spokeswoman from Volkswagen told The Independent: “Earlier this week a contractor was injured while installing some machinery in the Kassel factory.

“He died later in hospital from his injuries and our thoughts are with his family.

    SUNNYBUNNY, quite an informative post. But this kind of usual errors are not impossible, as they go with issues related to programming or malfunction. Still the owner of the robot holds full responsibility and hold the consequences.
Rajive. you are right. Robots basically work as they are programmed and this types of mistakes are very rare.
