It grabs boxes of bell peppers. Those are big boxes (pretty much the size of an apple box) that could easily span the length of a man’s face and chest.
In the US those are the standard size for every major grocery store across the country. Which is why I referred to them specifically. They’re also a size that covers the length of from a man’s face to his chest, so it would make sense for them to be that size, considering the size pf bell pepper boxes.
I’m not here to get in an achullaly argument with you about something as stupid as apple boxes.
I’ve worked around robot arms. A given arm has multiple motions programmed. In addition to production tasks, they also have a “home” position, and possibly also position(s) designed for maintenance procedures. The robot may have been attempting to enter one of those.
No torque limits programmed. It intended to place the box a millimeter above the surface then release it. The human was bigger than the box but the robot was still targeting the top of a small box.
I’m kind of lacking imagination how that makes sense for a robot arm that is supposed to lift boxes. Anyone have an idea?
I was curious about this too and went through a few different news sources (BBC, yahoo, etc). Sadly all of them just repeated the same information.
Maybe in a few days they’ll have better details.

I’m not sure if my sense of humor is broken but the Apple box detail is absolutely killing me.
Yeah I have no idea how big an apple box is 🤔
I think it probably looks something like
you typically find in wholesale stores.
No. Apple boxes are big.

There’s four or five layers of produce in there.
Although this happened in South Korea, I don’t know if they use the same standard size.

Maybe it thought the person was a box stacked on it’s side and it was trying to rotate it
