'The family of a repair technician killed in an auto parts factory accident is suing five robotics companies they say are responsible. '
'"The robot from section 130 should have never entered section 140, and should have never attempted to load a hitch assembly within a fixture that was already loaded with a hitch assembly," the suit reads. ', "Now Holbrook's estate is suing the three companies that built the robots (Fanuc America, Nachi Robotic, and Lincoln Electric) for failing to design adequate safeguards and protections into the robots."
'When one of those units malfunctions and injures or kills human staff, just who should be considered liable?'
'"A failure of one or more of defendants' safety systems or devices had taken place, causing Wanda's death."'
