The robot grabbed the boy’s finger and it was broken. The boy was put in a plaster cast, and he was able to squat for his participation in the tournament.

“The boy made a move, and then the robot had to give time, but the boy rushed, and the robot grabbed his finger,” said Lazarev. “Robot operators will have to think about protection so that situations like this don’t happen again.”
