I once posted about the use of robots during disasters and the many advantages that they can do to prevent risking human lives in rescue missions. When there is an advantage, there is also a disadvantage.
A robot accidentally killed a worker at a Volkswagen factory in Germany. The man was said to be working on the robot when it suddenly grabbed him and eventually crushed him to death. The death wasn’t blamed on the robot but on human error. The robot can be programmed to do some tasks while it is still in the assembly process so that could have been the reason why it suddenly grabbed on the man while he was on the process of assembling it.
Here’s a link to the story:
