Are Industrial Robots Safe Enough?

Robots are machine like

Respect them like you would a train or a car. Even though it has safety measures, don't expect them to see you, or when the lights are flashing that they can stop.

Nothing is fool proof, things fail.

And then you have this: Robot Ride

OMG, this is what happens when fabricators gets board....I don't know whether to admire thier imagination or scold them.

I wish I could say I never did anything stupid when I was younger.

Well that answers that, I'd scold (verbally reprimand) them, then walk away and find a quite please and laugh.

I was working on the robot and my belt got caught.........somebody stop this thing

notice how close his head comes to the floor on one of the first passes <cringe>

I thought he touched.

when I worked at the shipyard people did alot of stupid things to get a laugh......would'nt it have been something if a high level tour was about to go through the shop and this was going on. What would you say.

And Jim here is going through a battery of tests on the robot, he does this with every robot.

On the serious side, with the size of that robot, it could of snapped his neck like a twig...
