A man has died after being hit by a robot in South Korea. The robot was engaged in lifting and moving food boxes at the time of the incident.
t is reported that the deceased (40) worked in a robot-based company in South Korea. He was working as a robot inspector at the time of the incident. At that time the robot was engaged in transferring food.
But since the robot doesn’t understand the difference between a food box and a human, it pushes the person against the conveyor belt. The man’s face and chest were bruised. He was later rescued and taken to hospital where he died.
Earlier, in March this year, a 50-year-old man was seriously injured when he was hit by a robot while working at an automobile parts factory.
