And so it begins…welcome to our robot overlords. |

Did the bot sing a marching song afterwards? |

He said initial conclusions indicate that human error was to blame, rather than a problem with the robot … which would have been a problem with the people installing, moving, configuring, building, maintaining, and doing safety checks on the robot, thus still human error. |

Call in Dr. Susan Calvin to find out why the robot did it. |

"He said initial conclusions indicate that human error was to blame, rather than a problem with the robot" So, the machines have learned how to shift blame… |

You people do realize, someone died? |

The first issue is the blatant and deliberate misuse of language . The robot did not kill anyone. It is an inanimate object and incapable of intent or blame. His interaction with a machine that should not have been energized while humane were in proximity of it is the cause of his unfortunate demise. This poor gentleman has died as the result of a piece of equipment being mishandled or a malfuction. Surely little reason for humor. |

That's the third robot-related death in the car industry in 10 years. Compared to about 12 deaths through the use of other tools in the same industry in the same time. I think the Wrenches are still in charge. |

You do realise that there is a planet in our solar system entirely populated with robots don't you. Mars |
takes another stab at building a more perfect flight stand.
