A man has been crushed to death by a robot in South Korea after it failed to differentiate him from the boxes of food it was handling, reports say: "The robotic arm, confusing the man for a box of vegetables, grabbed him and pushed his body against the conveyer belt, crushing his face and chest"

Why would the man's identity be secret? The name of the man who was crushed to death by a robot in South Korea is not revealed. The article only identifies him as a robotics company employee in his 40s who was inspecting the robot.

Confused him for vegetables, or wanted to make him a vegetable?
