Danger: robots with knives could attack humans accidentallySimilarly, from previous issues of the Guardian...
German researchers have warned that robots in the home could prove dangerous - particularly when armed with sharp objects.
To discover what would happen if a robot wielding a sharp tool - such as a knife or a screw driver - accidentally struck a person, researchers at the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics, part of the national aerospace agency in Wessling, south-east Germany, programmed a mechanical arm holding a variety of instruments to strike a series of substances that mimicked human tissue.
