A tragic accident occurred at a pepper sorting plant in South Korea, where a robot mistakenly identified a worker as a box and fatally crushed him. An error in the sensor system of the device was discovered, which prevented it from being put into operation. During the diagnostic process, the robotic arm grabbed an employee and pinned him against the conveyor belt, causing severe injuries to his face and chest. Despite being rushed to the hospital, the victim could not be saved.
