A malfunctioning robot fatally crushed a woman's head as she adjusted machinery at her job, according to a wrongful death lawsuit filed in federal court by her husband. Holbrook's co-workers found her, and she died of severe head trauma at the scene, Courthouse News reports. "A failure of one or more of defendants’ safety systems or devices had taken place, causing Wanda’s death," the lawsuit states. It also says the automated safety system did not work as it should have; safety doors meant to stop robot movement, for example, failed, the lawsuit claims.
