  • The robot did exactly what it was programmed to do. It didn't mistake anything, the guy was in there with all safety disabled, the robot running, and he accidentally triggered a part present sensor. This story is nothing about industrial robotics and is really just a lesson on why you shouldnt defeat multiple safety system and have industrial machines running while you're inside a cell
