After a few seconds, people around the table rush to the child's aid and manage to prize his finger free from the clutches of the mechanical adversary.
The good news is that the young man in question doesn't appear to have been overly traumatized by the incident, as far as we can tell: he was able to carry on playing the next day with a cast on his finger, and finished the tournament.From what information we have, this is likely a case of someone putting their hands where they weren't predicted to go, rather than any aggressive action on the robot's part – but it's clear we can't have a repeat of this incident.

As machinery and robots become stronger and more advanced, the need to put safety measures in place increases. Tragic accidents like this are, of course,
, but it highlights the need for human-robot interfaces that are easy to understand from both sides, with plenty of safeguards built in.
