Hungarians for hand packed paprika!
We had a guy that was working on a pressurized sewer line when he found out he didn’t bleed the pressure off before removing the fitting.
There was a big stink about that.
This is stupid, click-bait propaganda.
The technician was violating safety protocols, either of his own pathetic accord or at the behest of his employer.
NO TECHNICIAN engages work of ANY KIND on automated equipment of ANY KIND without minimum safety protocols.
This is the result of total failure to observe said protocols, nothing more. Likely family litigation to follow, even possible criminal investigation.
The last machine stop I worked in, and retired from, had mostly CNC lathes and mills with doors on them. Those machines WOULD NOT RUN until the doors were closed, telling the machine’s computer that it was safe to run.
Likewise the CNC grinders I used to run. We had one old centerless grinder that I ran that had no such safety devices. You just had to watch what the hell you were doing. I never had any problems with it.
With more and more modern machines, and the inclusion of AI, there really is a need for operators who have to have the knowledge and experience and COMMON SENSE to oversee them safely.
Do they have a Death Penalty for robots?
Right. The first thing I learned was how to lock out a machine before doing anything.
He failed to Grok the robot
I had a girlfriend who was nearly scalped by a lathe...she had her hair tied up as required, but it came lose and was caught by the spinning object, pulling her head down as her long hair wound around it.
It ripped loose a large section of her scalp, and gave her a concussion to boot. The physician who put her scalp back together did a great job, and you couldn’t even see the stitches.
Forget where it was but there was a story about an automated warehouse that had a fire & when the firemen arrived, the robots were still operating to the point where the FM were having trouble fighting the fire. Article said that the robots would be programmed in the future to return to a home base or stop if a fire alarm were to be activated.
The robot had probably bought supermarket paprika and thought all paprika was a scam.
Apparently, nobody there ever heard of the 3 Laws Of Robotics. Sometimes you need to learn from future history, as well as traditional history.
My Pop was a Machinist/Tool & die-maker. His fingers looked like an old worn out picked fence... :)
Must have been a liberal.
Looked like a box of rocks.
ER.. That is to say...picket fence.
Don’t forget the Zeroth Law of Robotics complements of R. Daneel Olivaw.
It seems odd to me that a box of paprika, which in my mind is 2” x 4”, but most most could be confused with a human being.
They're blaming it on the technology. Just wait for the advanced tech robots, Terminator v.307, to show up and inflict more carnage on those silly humans.
Who holds the liability? The Robot, or the owner of it. Can a robot be sued?
You’ll get that.
