I think the first robot killing a human was a screw-driver robot in Japan.

Not exactly sure of the details, such as access/entry/power restrictions, but some worker managed to get between the machine and the intended screw hole.

That was back in the 1980s.

And in the 70s the Russians had a tank with an autoloader mechanism that sometimes would load the weapons soldier into the breach instead of the intended shell if he got in the way in the cramped area.
