A robot went out of control at the China Hi-Tech Fair 2016 in Shenzhen on Thursday, smashing a glass window and injuring a visitor. The robot that went violent is named “Fatty” and is designed for household use.

This is the first time in China that a robot has injured a human being. Some Chinese netizens on Weibo said that they fear the incident signals the start of the "invasion" of robots.

However, the event organizer said human error was responsible for the mishap. The operator of the robot hit the “forward” button instead of “reverse,” according to one of the fair’s organizers.

This command sent the robot off in the direction of a neighbouring exhibition booth that was made from glass. The robot rammed into the booth and shattered the glass, the splinters from which injured the ankles of a visitor at the exhibition.

Details about the injured visitor were not immediately available, according to local media’s reports, but images circulating on the Internet on Friday show what appears to be a middle-aged man lying on a stretcher. After receiving emergency aid on-site, the patient was sent to the nearby hospital by ambulance and was discharged after receiving stitches.

ganzhuolin • Well, with a name like Fatty and a look like that no wonder he went rogue. He was probably looking for the person who built him...!

Robotics experts call for industry manufacturing standards after robot goes rogue (People's Daily Online) November 25, 2016

China should quicken its pace in setting industrial standards for robotics manufacturing, as the lack of safety regulations may pose potential hazards to humans, experts say.

“The development of service robots has already become a new trend. Such robots will directly serve humans, which means a high standard for safety and mechanical capacity should be imposed on the robotics industry,” said Fan Jianping, head of the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to Xinhua News Agency.

Fan’s remarks came after a robot named “Little Chubby” malfunctioned and sent a bystander to the hospital during the Hi-tech Fair held in Shenzhen earlier this month. Though the organizer of the fair claimed that the problem was caused by human error, the incident has nevertheless incited public concerns about the safety and quality of robots.

“The incident has revealed the problem caused by a lack of industrial standards. Currently, China’s robotics manufacturing industry is still in an exploratory stage. There are no specific regulations to tackle problems and hazards created by robots,” Fan said.

Echoing Fan, other experts also noted that, due to China’s growing elderly population, robots may soon be deployed to care for elderly citizens. For that reason and others, safety hazards cannot be tolerated.

The robotics industry in China has developed swiftly in recent years. According to Xinhua, the industry scale in Shenzhen alone will reach 30 to 50 billion RMB in the next decade.
