An employee of a company in South Korea has lost his life after being attacked by a robot.

The man was attacked by the robot after failing to correctly identify several boxes containing food.

This incident took place when the man, who was 40 years old, was testing the robot.

South Korean news agency Yonhap reported that the robot grabbed the person and crushed his face and chest.

The injured person was taken to hospital but later died.

The robot's task is to lift the pepper boxes and transfer them onto pallets.

On November 8th, the dead worker was testing the robot for deployment at a pepper sorting plant in South Gyeongsang Province.

Accordingly, the police report that the employee was checking the sensor operations of the robot before the test run.

In this way, in March, a 50-year-old South Korean man was seriously injured after being hit by a robot while working in a car parts manufacturing plant.
