Terrifying. The cold unfeeling death by an industrial tool is sadly an ever recurring story in labor history. This to me says that testing for the software and systems and the environment it’s in for these sorts of this thing needs to ironclad on safety. Testing and safety are sadly undervalued because they aren’t “profit generating”.
Best practices is having robotic arms inside cages to prevent people from physically being able to access a machine’s circle of blood. Auto turnoff systems are still fundamentally software and aren’t as reliable as physical lockout

Yep, just bad design practices and lack of safety checks. Industrial robots just like any other heavy machinery can be dangerous
The thing should be turned off automatically whenever a flesh body is within reach. That’s the only software solution that’s going to be truly safe.

They use lasers attached to a kill relay to create a virtual cage. You can do it only with electronics, no software
Yeah I’ve worked around a lot of heavy machinery and I’ll trust the fence thanks.
