The unsuspecting worker appeared to be laying out sheets of material when the arm forcefully swung down and pinned him against a bench at the Vandapac factory located in Chonburi
Startling video footage capturing the tragic moment a robotic arm fatally crushed a worker at a factory in Thailand has emerged today.
Unsettling CCTV footage shows how the victim was incapacitated beneath the hulking metal device as a fellow employee continued working across the room, seemingly unaware of the catastrophe unfolding just behind him. Factory authorities have asserted that the robot arm was operating within normal parameters and attributed the accident to the worker's misjudgment.
The shocking incident comes just months after another robot killed a worker in South Korea because it failed to differentiate him from a box of vegetables. Police subsequently launched an investigation into the site's safety managers for possible negligence in duties. Last July, footage emerged of a chess-playing android breaking a child's finger during a match in Russia.
