Now it has a 'taste' for death. Skynet is next.
Quote : | "An automotive assembly line robot mortally injured a worker at a car factory in Germany this week, a prosecutor's office said.
The man, 21, was installing the robot at a Volkswagen assembly line on Tuesday in Baunatal, which lies next to the city of Kassel, local newspaper the Hessische Niedersaechsische Allgemeine reported, citing a VW spokesman. The robot gripped him and pressed up him against a metal plate, crushing his chest.
Despite efforts to revive him, the worker, an employee of a third-party vendor, later died in hospital, the paper reported.
As a matter of procedure necessary to have the body released in cases of non-natural death, the state prosecutors' office said it is investigating to rule out any criminal culpability.
CNN placed calls to multiple press spokespeople at Volkswagen, but was unable to reach one." |

It started long ago https://www.osha.gov/pls/imis/establishment.inspection_detail?id=307542589
My friend was present for that I heard he was pretty shaken over it, so I've never asked him anything about it.
Quote : | "The robot and the two testing machines were separated from employees and the rest of the plant by solid walls on three sides and a chain link fence on one side creating a robot work cell. Interlocked gates were present in the fence and one wall. On March 30, 2004, the employee entered the barricaded work cell while the system was in operation. The employee was caught by the head or neck between the fixture on the end of the robotic arm and the testing machine and was killed" |
