Robot Fatalities
- The first human to be killed by a robot was Robert Williams who died at a casting plant in Flat Rock, MI (Jan. 25, 1979). [24]
- A better known case is that of 37 year-old Kenji Urada, a Japanese factory worker, in 1981. Urada was performing routine maintenance on the robot, but neglected to shut it down properly, and was accidentally pushed into a grinding machine.[25]

Watch out Boe-Bot in Action...
Light Sensitive Navigation with Boe-Bot : Light has many applications in robotics and industrial control. There are many different light sensors that serve unique functions. The light sensor in your Boe-Bot kit is designed to detect visible light, and it can be used to make your Boe-Bot detect variations in light level. With this ability, your Boe-Bot can be programmed to recognize areas with light or dark perimeters, report the overall brightness and darkness level it sees, and seek out light sources such as flashlight beams and doorways letting light into dark rooms.
