Some of these systems look so dangerous. I wonder what it would take for one of these systems to glitch and malfunction. A slight error is all it would take to kill someone! Kuka makes robots mainly for industrial use and their site is great since they document many of their installs. For example have a look at the LegoLand RoboCoaster.

Industrial arms have brakes on every joint that engage on error or if the arm is stationary for more than a few seconds. They make a cool clicking sound.

It’s not the equipment going insane I worry about, it’s the people who program it…

These machines have billions if not trillions of combined hours on them in industrial use. We use them for gate clipping, assembly and take out robots. I have seen only one robot ever in 20 years of injection molding experience, malfunction (positional encoding) that resulted in a crash. The positions are typically programmed in mm’s or 100ths of an inch and have a repeatability of anywhere to 1-3 mm depending on size speed and load. The machines are not what I’m afraid of, it’s the programmer that scares me. Did they use execute steps, or execute&wait steps etc?
