That's perfectly safe actually, unless they hosed up a weld, or didn't test the program with a dummy.

On the other hand, it's totally within weight limits and apparently fully programmed beforehand so they could test it before someone actually got on? Someone I know who works with industrial robots - he's a goon btw but he's even worse at posting than me - said a robot like that can change direction fast enough to give the rider a concussion.

Sure, but they programmed it to not do that. I don't see a dude wiggling a stick somewhere, that would make it infinitely more dangerous.

Do they even have any kind of industrial accident investigations, or is life too cheap in China? First thing I thought of after hearing this in the news was the Willow Island disaster, where the scaffolding collapsed due to a multitude of reasons, two of which were missing/broken bolts, and attaching the scaffolding to concrete that hadn't even dried out yet. Oh, and of course, a third reason, that was mentioned in some news articles about the Chinese accident, rushing of the construction due to dates that had to be kept despite delays making them impossible to achieve.

VectorSigma posted:i'm sure there are also physical rotation locks and motor limiters that can prevent unsafe motions There's a ton of safety mechanisms to prevent the robot from damaging itself, because it is very expensive. But these safety mechanisms only engage if the robot itself is in danger. Once I had a robot bend a metal bolt as thick as my finger before the safety system stopped it. I doubt dragging a human along the floor would even register to it. Humans aren't supposed to be in reach of it when it's running. The real problem with that chair-riding video is that the emergency stop is not usable. An emergency stop to a robot means "ENGAGE THE MECHANICAL BRAKES NOW", not "please halt". Last time I had to use an emergency stop the robot nearly ripped itself out of the floor, caused several tons of steel to literally bounce and made a terrible noise. I don't think it would kill the chair guy if you hit the emergency stop while it was spinning in a big circle, but he'd maybe get a concussion and whiplash. Note that when I had to use the emergency stop I was safely behind a fence. That said, there are a ton of robots that are safe for human interaction. However, they're slow and weak. The robot in that video is definitely not one of them.

You should probably speak to congress, because very shortly people are going to be having sex with robots. Imagine a 10th scale robot, reenacting that video on some goon's erection.

This is a industrial machine, made to repeat motions within very small margins of error forever (until it gets replaces by a better machine). If you use the right program, it will do what it did the last time, the time before that and for the next xxxxx times. There's a lot of safety in place if it is off the path. If nothing breaks, because it is properly cared for and the program ran fine before, everything is good. This is a machine that is aware of it's position and knows how to correct movement to get where it should. If it runs once with a load of X, it will run forever with everything <=X.

Oh that's cool then. I'm just going to drive around this load of steel beams without actually restraining them in any way. Watch out, you don't want me to break suddenly or a steel beam with my decapitated head on the front of it is gonna ram into your car. Surely you need to secure your load well enough that you can brake in an unexpected situation without the braking causing you to lose your load? What happens if a stupid school kid steps out in front of the truck?

Two things to take from this which should be obvious: 1) Never cut off a truck. 2) Always secure your loads. This was a minor accident, caused by a dumb rear end certainly, which turned into a big one because the trucking company failed in their duty of care.
