The Baiyun District Government of Guangzhou City released the investigation report on the ordinary mechanical injury accident in Baiyun Renhe "6·14": On June 14, 2026, Luo Moufa, a 55-year-old general worker at Wanbao Special Refrigeration Equipment Co., Ltd., was crushed by the robotic arm of a blank stacking robot and died after rescue efforts failed, with direct economic losses of 1,801,264 yuan. The report states that there was no surveillance video and no direct witnesses at the scene; it is inferred that when the incident occurred, Luo Moufa was at Workstation 1 performing basket-closing and packaging, and the robot operated abnormally, leaving its normal Workstation 2 and intruding into Workstation 1. The report also determined that Wanbao Special Company arranged for employees to independently use the equipment involved in the incident before the robot had been accepted and without fully understanding the safety characteristics of the new equipment.
