The Killer Robots: It has Started
« on: July 03, 2015, 07:30:21 AM »
A robot at a VW assembly plant killed a 22 year old contractor.

Quote
The man was inside a metal cage setting up the stationary robot when it reached out and grabbed him, crushing him against a metal plate.

Another man was inside the cage when it happened, but was not hurt, AP reported. Investigators believe the accident was the result of human error. The robot’s job is to reach out and grab parts for assembly. Prosecutors are trying to determine if charges will be brought, and against whom.

It's not known if the contractor made a homophobic remark, was wearing a confederate flag t-shirt, or was humming a Christian song.

Hope your happy. I spewed beer on that one. ::laughonfloor::

On a serious note, after almost 40 yrs in the industrial world, it's safe to say serious safety protocol was NOT followed for that procedure.

And poor Sandra O'Conner and her tweet. ::laughonfloor::

Yea. She claims that she's not the Sara Conner from the film but someone should tell her what happened to the last misidentified Sara. LOL

Yeah the Cyberdyne Systems T-800 Series Model 101 is nothing if not thorough.  Best way to get the targeted Sarah Connor?  Get all Sarah Connors!

The Three Laws...a robot cannot be charged with a crime...better find a human scapegoat.
