production plants in Germany, the automaker said Wednesday.
The man died Monday at the plant in Baunatal, about 100 kilometers (62 miles
) north of Frankfurt, VW spokesman Heiko Hillwig said.
The 22-year-old was part of a team that was setting up the stationary robot
when it grabbed and crushed him against a metal plate, Hillwig said.
He said initial conclusions indicate that human error was to blame, rather
than a problem with the robot, which can be programmed to perform various
tasks in the assembly process. He said it normally operates within a
confined area at the plant, grabbing auto parts and manipulating them.
Another contractor was present when the incident occurred, but wasn't harmed
, Hillwig said. He declined to give any more details about the case, citing
an ongoing investigation.
German news agency dpa reported that prosecutors were considering whether to
bring charges, and if so, against whom. | l******t
