Robot kills worker at Volkswagen plant in Germany

A robot has killed a contractor at one of Volkswagen’s production plants in Germany, the automaker has said.

The man died on Monday at the plant in Baunatal, about 100km (62 miles) north of Frankfurt, VW spokesman Heiko Hillwig said.

The 22-year-old was part of a team that was setting up the stationary robot when it grabbed and crushed him against a metal plate, Hillwig said.

He said initial conclusions indicate that human error was to blame, rather than a problem with the robot, which can be programmed to perform various tasks in the assembly process.

He said it normally operates within a confined area at the plant, grabbing auto parts and manipulating them.
Another contractor was present when the incident occurred, but was not harmed, Hillwig said. He declined to give any more details about the case, citing an ongoing investigation.

German news agency DPA reported that prosecutors were considering whether to bring charges, and if so, against whom.

Linda,you don start blogging so early?Get hold of your self .Your life is spiraling out of control.You need to take things easy.You work too much.
Everything is not about working hard and making money.You cant spend all your life on working hard.You need to take things easy .You may be intelligent but you lack wisdom.
There are many of your mates that dont work as hard as you and dont have half the money you have but they are much more happier than you.
My advice:work less and be wiser and more happier.

Charge should be against the Volkswagen company. Vicarious liability is what it's called in law. When an agent of a master defaults in line of duty, the master takes responsibility. Robot is an agent of volkswagen, whether they built it themselves or bought it. The crux is that they engaged it's services. They can choose to join the manufacturer of the Robot in the suit though.

I don't subscribe to the creation of robots oh...in future now they would be created to assist in homes n live amongst humans. Then they will start marrying other robots, then they will fight for 'equality' n marry humans.
Hmmmm, do I watch alot of sci fiction?

Na so. The monster they created has become monstrous to them and them alone.

Linda, do u have to publish every asshole's comment? I can bet with my life that this idiot is one of the most unhappy people alive because, no doubt, he/she is jealous of your accomplishments. Anyway, na u sabi. Why then do u vet comments before publication if u end up publishing stuff like this. Fucking unbelievable!!

Wow I can't believe the hate I just read here. So you unconscious beings came on a blog after perusing it's contents over and over to insult the blogger? Woow you are dust and as dust you shall be scattered across the earth whence you came. Linda is living her life. If you were truly happy, you wouldn't dare spew such hate from your torsos. She has found her purpose. You find yours! May God have mercy on your pitiful souls
