A technician died from injuries sustained while working on a robot at Volkswagen's factory in Kessel, Germany, according to media reports.
The reports indicated that two men, who worked for an outside contractor, were installing the robot when the mechanism struck one of them in the chest and pressed him against a metal plate.
The 21-year-old man, who was working within the metal safety cage confining the robot, later died from the accident.
His co-worker was outside the metal cage and unharmed. Prosecutors are investigating the incident.
Volkswagen officials said that the robot did not have a technical defect and that it was not one of the company's new lightweight robots that aid workers on production lines.
At one time I routinely worked on a large robot, frequently getting in the cage with it running. Had to do a sort of dance to avoid getting hit by it. One day it crashed into a welding machine, destroying it’s end-effector and shredding part of the welding machine. I thought ‘wow I’m glad that wasn’t my face.’
The guy was hitting on the robot and it killed him in a huma-phobic rage.
So it killed the guy on purpose?
Respect it like you would respect a gun and you’ll be just fine.
Titanium-supremacists?
White (metal) supremacists.
You left out: “It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.”

Down in the Park - Gary Numan
Down in the park where the machmen meet
The machines are playing ‘Kill-by-numbers’
Down in the park with a friend called ‘Five’
I was in a car crash or was it the war?
Well, I’ve never been quite the same
Little white lies like I was there
Come to Zom-Zom’s, a place to eat
Like it was built in one day
You can watch the humans try to run
Oh, look, there’s a rape machine
I’d go outside if it looks the other way
You wouldn’t believe the things they do
Down in the park where the chant is death, death, death
Until’ the sun cries mornin’
Down in the park with friends of mine
We are not lovers, we are not romantics
We are here to serve you
A different face but the words never change
Songwriters
WEBB, GARY ANTHONY JAMES

about three weeks ago at the Toyota plant in Georgetown Kentucky a worker lost an arm to a machine there and the plant has done its best to cover it up.
Meaning, they’d admit to anything except a design flaw.
Lockout-tagout?
