An Industrial Robot at a vegetable packaging plant in South Korea crushed a worker to death, prompting an investigation into the machine's safety and potential defects. The man, an employee of a company that installs industrial robots, was sent to examine the machine and died of head and chest injuries after being grabbed and pressed against a conveyor belt by the robot's arms. The machine, which is not an advanced AI-powered robot but a pick-and-place robot, is one of two used at the plant. South Korea has experienced other safety accidents involving industrial robots in recent years.
