A man has been crushed to death by a robot in South Korea after it failed to differentiate him from the boxes of food it was handling, reports say.
The incident occurred when the man, a robotics company employee in his 40s, was inspecting the robot.
The robotic arm, confusing the man for a box of vegetables, grabbed him and pushed his body against the conveyer belt, crushing his face and chest, South Korean news agency Yonhap said.
He was sent to hospital but later died.

Not AI and he was trying to correct a fault with the sensors on the robot: the sensors that failed to identify him as not a box of vegetables.

What I find surprising is that a box of veg weighs 10-20 kgs.
Why do the
robots have to be so powerful that they can seriously hurt a man? It
seems a waste of resources, as well as being dangerous.
Where do you get that figure from? I've not seen any information about
the size or weight of the boxes the arm was moving. All of the reports
also use stock photos of robot arms, so we don't even know what it looks like.

The BBC report just attributes the image to Getty, without saying that
it has nothing to do with the actual installation, but of course you
must be correct.
