A man in South Korea was crushed to death by a robot that may have mistaken him for a box, according to reports.
The victim, a worker in his 40s, was inspecting the robot’s sensor at a vegetable-packaging plant on Tuesday when the incident took place. The warehouse is located in South Gyeongsand province, a region in the south of the country.
“He had been sent to the plant to examine whether the machine was working properly.”
It doesn’t sound like it was
“One report suggested that the man may have moved near the robot with a box in his hands, which could have triggered the machine’s reaction.”
Seems like a dumb way to check though.
Is it not customary to turn off the robot before inspecting it?
Snake? Snake? Snaaake!
And so it begins.
Accident, or the first of many cyberpunk murders?

Do not trust the pusher robot.
This reminds me of South Park when the Amazon union guy gets stuffed in a box lol
