Since it obviously was not locked out, I wonder if they were programming a new process and someone accidently cycled the program.
When programming all the coordinates it might require someone to be near the arm to make sure everything is clear or aligned correctly. Some arms can be manually moved and then you can store the coordinates that way. |

"Contractor" is the key word here. Not a VW employee, and probably never received VW robot safety training. The robot may have been energized before all the lock-out mechanisms were in place. RIP to the victim.

Quoted:
Heiko Hillwig said Wednesday the 22-year-old was part of a team that was setting up the robot when it grabbed and crushed him against a metal plate. German news agency dpa reported that prosecutors were considering whether to bring charges, and if so, against whom. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/E/EU_GERMANY_ROBOT_KILLING?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2015-07-01-16-04-13 BUT: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.[1] |

The Sarah Connor connection is creepy.
The report is lacking important details. I can assume by the age of the victim that it's not one of my ex co-workers. Which is good. I cannot assume that victim was at fault or safety protocol was not followed. The safety cages rarely have a large enough footprint to save you. They're never robust enough to save you. They're to keep humans out....not keep robots in. I've witnessed numerous robots wig the fuck out. Had a fanuc throw a engine block at me once. No one was programming it. It had performed its programmed function hundreds of times that shift....until it didn't.

Automated machinery has been taking people's digits, limbs, and lives for hundreds of years.
Working with automated stuff isn't for the careless or drowsy. |

If you are working on it, something broke or you are dealing with a program that has not been proven. Could be a corrupt program, bad limit switch, bad encoder/encoder board, etc. If it's acting up, or has not been proven, watch your ass. |

Yeah, the ones in auto plants are pretty powerful. Lock out-tag out, stored energy, ect. They didn't do it. Exactly. There are physical, electrical, and mechanical safeguards to prevent that sort of shit. They had to be disabled for it to happen. |

Sarah O'Connor tweeted about it. She has never even seen the Terminator though so she had no idea her name was close to the character's.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
As someone who programs and works with robots on a daily basis I can say the guy was definitely not following any type of safety protocol. If teaching the pendant should have a dead man switch. If the robot was in full automatic mode no human should be inside the cage or confined space. If using the jog function on the pendant the speed should be set at 50% maximum, which on a Fanuc is standard. This is nothing more than Darwin at work. At my first job a robot tech. was inside a cage and managed to jog a robot at slow speed with a degating knife right into his belly, he had a 4" wound and was out for 2 months. Dumbasses everywhere..... Good day. I work with robots everyday as well. You have to bypass a lot of safety protocols to get a robot to grab you and slam you into something hard enough to kill you. They mentioned a second person in the area, but never mentioned who was actually in control of the robot. They also did not mention the age of the robot, I have worked with older models that allowed 100% speed while using the teach pendant. They can catch you off guard, especially when spending long hours programming. The guy was only 22, most likely did not have a lot of experience. |

It is not a robot. It is an immobile cybernetic assembly organism with multiple polyaxial joints, digital imaging targeting system, interchangeable end effectors and learning capability.
