Heiko Hillwig said Wednesday the 22-year-old was part of a team that was setting up the robot when it grabbed and crushed him against a metal plate.
Ouch, that sounds like the worst way to die.



It has begun...the robot revolution.
I now await for someone to say "I for one welcome our new robot overlords"

I for one welcome our new robot overlords
for real though, that's a pretty bad way to pass away.


this is why you guys need to respect the robot

I think the guy who saw him get killed is probably going to be afraid of robots for the rest of his life.
