ROBOT MISTAKES WORKER FOR BOX, CRUSHES HIM

A robot meant to lift boxes at a pepper sorting plant in South Korea mistook a man for a box of vegetables and crushed him. The man, a robotics company employee, had been checking the sensors on the robot after reports that it had been malfunctioning. The robotic arm grabbed him and forced him onto a conveyor belt, crushing his body. He was rushed to a hospital but succumbed to his injuries.
* How’d you like to be the next in line to check those sensors?
* ♪♫ Please let my left arm go, Mr Roboto. ♫
* If the robots think humans look like boxes of vegetables, they need better robots.
* Nothing worse than a dead-end job.
