S. Korean man killed by industrial robot

SEOUL, Nov 8, 2023 (Net) – A man was crushed to death by a robot in South Korea after the machine apparently failed to differentiate him from the boxes of produce it was handling, the Yonhap news agen-cy reported Wednesday.
The man, a robotics company worker in his 40s, was inspecting the robot’s sensor operations at a distri-bution centre for agricultural produce in South Gyeongsang province.
The industrial robot, which was lifting boxes filled with bell peppers and placing them on a pallet, ap-pears to have malfunctioned and identified the man as a box, Yonhap reported citing the police.
The robotic arm pushed the man’s upper body down against the conveyor belt, crushing his face and chest, according to Yonhap.
He was transferred to the hospital but died later, the report said.
In March, a South Korean man in his 50s suffered serious injuries after getting trapped by a robot while working at an automobile parts manufacturing plant.
