Man crushed to death by robot in South Korea

A tragic incident occurred in South Korea where a man in his 40s, an employee of a robotics company, was fatally crushed by a robot that failed to distinguish him from the boxes of food it was handling.

The accident took place while the man was inspecting the robot, and the robotic arm, mistaking him for a box of vegetables, grabbed him, pushing his body against the conveyor belt and causing severe injuries to his face and chest.

Despite being rushed to the hospital, the man succumbed to his injuries.

The robot, designed for lifting boxes of peppers and transferring them onto pallets, was undergoing sensor checks ahead of its scheduled test run at a pepper sorting plant in South Gyeongsang province on November 8.

Originally planned for November 6, the test was delayed by two days due to sensor issues, BBC reported.
