A chess-playing robot broke a boy's finger during a match in Russia last week, the president of the Moscow Chess Federation told state news agency TASS media.

Sergey Lazarev said the incident occurred at the Moscow Chess Open after the boy rushed the robot. "A robot broke a child's finger -- this is, of course, bad," Lazarev said. "The robot was rented by us, it has been exhibited in many places by specialists for a long time. Apparently, the operators overlooked some flaws. The child made a move, and after that it is necessary to give time for the robot to respond, but the boy hurried, the robot grabbed him. We have nothing to do with the robot."

Stay safe out there.

Mess with the bull, you get the horns.

I guess you could say it was Check Break.

We have the Chewbacca defense and now the robot defense.

"But your honor the boy hurried me. I had to grab him"

"Very well! Case dismissed!"

 

[IntentionalPun]

What does "being hurried" mean?

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say this kid was reaching over to the other side and the robot went to grab a piece and instead grabbed this kid's finger.

Just watched the video and you're spot on.

But what if that kid would have grown up to be a gunman that assassinated a political figure. Now he can't....

The dude's quote is the funniest. Found the lead engineer.

“This is an extremely rare case, the first I can recall.”

Mr Smagin said the incident was “a coincidence” and the robot – which can play multiple chess matches simultaneously – is “absolutely safe”.

“It has performed at many opens,” he said.

“Apparently, children need to be warned. It happens.”

Oh the robot got its warning heard, loud and clear.

A lot of businesses emerge from robots one of the best robots in the world is the conveyor belt it feels like a tricky thing but robots have been with humans early (60s, 70s) movies make they seem crazy. Robots are sweeping through countries and will overtake jobs.

How the fuck they even allowed for that to happen. Why there are no light curtains or any other safeguards?
That's industrial equipment. Even small one can in worse case scenario kill someone. For setting robot like that in factory person responsible for that would go straight to jail.

Maybe the corny 80s PSAs need to come back. The message seems to be getting lost lately.
