Assembly line robot kills worker

Happened during installation of the robot

It’s something you’d expect from a movie, but it happened in real life.

A worker at a Volkswagen plant died at the hands, or claws, of an assembly robot.

The Associated Press reported the man in his early 20s was part of the team setting up the robot at the Baunatal, Germany plant.

The company added that human error was likely to blame, not a rogue robot.

A VW spokesperson said the robot to crush the man against a metal plate.
