A man in South Korea was crushed to death by a robot that may have mistaken him for a box, according to reports.

The victim, a worker in his 40s, was inspecting the robot’s sensor at a vegetable-packaging plant on Tuesday when the incident took place. The warehouse is located in South Gyeongsand province, a region in the south of the country.

    Is it not customary to turn off the robot before inspecting it?
