I think it might have been C3PO or R2D2 one or the other.

This incident might be really bad for the sex robot industry.

Wonder if the robot warned the kid to keep his paws off the pieces before grabbing his finger and breaking it?

Yeah, Danny is definitely missed!
His openings to the football threads were prime comedy!

Even the smallest of motors will break bones when geared down low.
There has been no detailed account of the sequence of events that let to this accident. It is entirely possible that the robot snatched his finger by accident.

correct, but i’ve seen arms pick up eggs 40 yrs ago
the motor control algorithm is weak as the arm is strong

Oh, so true! The programming was definitely not written to decent safety standards. I bet it wasn't tested too carefully either.
Did you ever see one of those things catch a ball bearing on a flat metal plate? That was a very impressive demo at an industrial show ... yep, forty years ago.
