Terrifying. The cold unfeeling death by an industrial tool is sadly an ever recurring story in labor history. This to me says that testing for the software and systems environment of these sorts of this thing needs to ironclad. testing and safety are sadly undervalued because they aren’t “profit generating”.

Yep, just bad design practices and lack of safety checks. Industrial robots just like any other heavy machinery can be dangerous
The thing should be turned off whenever a flesh body is within reach. No software solution is going to be truly safe.
Best practices is having robotic arms inside cages to prevent people from physically being able to access a machine's circle of blood. Auto turnoff systems are still fundamentally software and aren't as reliable as physical lockout
They use lasers attached to a kill relay to create a virtual cage. You can do it only with electronics, no software
Yeah I've worked around a lot of heavy machinery and I'll trust the fence thanks.
More proof occupied Korea is a cyberpunk dystopia.
Robots are dangerous but a sign of a sophisticated society.
Whereas North Korea still requires Kim Jung Un to personally execute everyone suspected of being a box. Sad.
a joke in poor taste

In all seriousness though, Jesus fuckin' Christ, my dad worked in an automotive factory for most of his life and this is worse than the stories he told me about the dangers on the floor
I'm imagining Elon tweets today...
"I read an article about a South Korean man killed by an industrial robot that thought he was a box. The US must speed approval of my Neuralink implants into monkey brains to save human lives. The monkeys soon become smart enough to work in factories and the use rate of industrial robots can continue to increase apace. If there's an error - the result is only a dead monkey."
When he says "read about" - he means he saw the headline and immediately brain farted out a tweet.
Everything that people say about horses - that they're dumb, panicky, will injure themselves on something trivial, and will kill you if you stand in the wrong place at the right time - goes triple for robots.
The guy was inspecting the robots sensor operations when he was crushed. This is either ironic, or intentional by the robot.
His friends kept telling him to stop being a square…
I have my moods where I'd like to be identified as just a box. If I'm particularly in the mood, sexobject or sexdoll works too
Joking aside, that sounds genuinely terrible.
