Robot Murders Man

[icebreaker]

Just throwing up something light and trivial in the midst of all the recent harrowing news:

"Robot kills factory worker after picking him up and crushing him against a metal plate at Volkswagen plant in Germany"

Has this unfortunate man created a history milestone by being the first human murdered by a robot?
Is this a predictor of a dystopian future of "us against them" ?
I thought this stuff only happened in Terminator movies?

"German news agency dpa reported that prosecutors were considering whether to bring charges, and if so, against whom".

The death of a person is light and trivial?

[h=1]Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics"[/h]

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law
