Chess robot grabs and breaks finger of seven-year-old opponent​

A chess-playing robot, apparently unsettled by the quick responses of a seven-year-old boy, grabbed and broke his finger during a match at the Moscow Open last week, Russian media outlets have reported.

“The robot broke the child’s finger,” Sergey Lazarev, president of the Moscow Chess Federation, told the TASS news agency after the incident, adding that the machine had played many previous exhibitions without upset. “This is of course bad.”

Video of the 19 July incident published by the Baza Telegram channel shows the boy’s finger being pinched by the robotic arm for several seconds before a woman followed by three men rush in, eventually freeing him and ushering him away.

That thing looks exactly like the arm on a inspection robot that checks machined parts.
Although it cant break bones.

Robots don't think. The child violated safety rules and the robot was probably programed to treat the boy's finger as a chess piece.
