A software engineer at Tesla’s Austin, Texas factory suffered severe injuries following an incident involving a malfunctioning robot. According to reports, the robot, which was intended to transport aluminum car parts, unexpectedly targeted and assaulted the engineer. This incident raised concerns about safety measures within the factory premises.
Last month, The New York Post, referencing The Information, reported an alarming incident involving a robot that resulted in severe injuries to an engineer. The robot trapped the engineer, causing deep wounds as its metal claws pierced the engineer’s back and arm, leaving a visible trail of blood on the factory floor. The engineer was involved in programming software for robots responsible for cutting car parts from freshly cast aluminum pieces. Witnesses informed The Information that the incident, which occurred two years ago, happened when maintenance work was being conducted on two disabled robots, inadvertently leaving a third robot operational.
