Abstract

Robots are increasingly interacting with people at the workplace as users or bystanders, hence, they ought to be reliable and safe. The rationale behind the study is to understand the causes of the rising workplace robot accidents by analysing a particular case for greater understanding. The article provides diverse perspectives on the probable causes and consequences of robot-related accidents and offers suggestions to mitigate these. It involves the application of the root cause analysis technique to identify the reasons behind the robot-related accident that resulted in the death of a worker and suggests remedies to do away with any such recurrence in the future. The study endeavours to bridge the research gap pertaining to robot-related accidents in the automotive industry.
