A few days ago, we learned from foreign media that a robot accident occurred in 2021 at Tesla Motors' factory near Austin, the capital of Texas, USA. An engineer in the factory was attacked by a robot and his left hand was injured. In this regard, Tesla CEO Musk said that the accident was caused by an industrial robot, and it was not Tesla's "Optimus Prime" intelligent robot that actively attacked humans.
Two witnesses reportedly saw their colleague being attacked by a robot used to grab and move newly cast aluminum car parts. The engineer was writing software for two nearby malfunctioning Tesla robots when the robot suddenly pinned him down and then extended its metal claws into the engineer's back and arms, before another worker pressed the emergency button. After pressing the stop button, the engineer was freed from the robot's control. The incident caused a laceration to the victim's left hand and left a trail of blood on the factory floor.

The robot was completely Working according to the program, the programmer thought the robot was shut down, but it was actually still functioning, causing harm. While the injuries caused by the accident are horrific, that doesn't mean the robots will rebel.
Musk responded on social media that the netizen’s analysis was correct. The person who was injured was a KUKA industrial robot. This kind of robot is used in major factories. Media reports can easily mislead the public and make people think. It was Tesla’s “Optimus Prime” intelligent robot that actively attacked humans.
The above is the detailed content of Musk clarifies that robot attack was an industrial accident. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
