    It isn’t AI, main way to know is the one guys green gloves stay on even when they are out of sight long periods of time. None of the current models can handle that.

    These robots just have quite powerful motors that control arms/legs, so when it goes wrong, it can easily destroy itself with spectacular fashion.

      People who aren’t mechanics or engineers in a robotics or manufacturing field don’t realize just how powerful and fast a servo motor actually is. Especially without a speed-reducing gearbox. Even a modestly small vpl servo can do vast amounts of damage if installed incorrectly or if it comes loose from a mount or coupling.

        Yeah, there are reasons why robot arms in factories are in cages, because they will pretty much just kill you if you get in the way of the arms.

          That’s what made the new Ok Go video so crazy. Go watch it if you haven’t. Then watch the behind the scenes.
