📌 Industrial robots today are programmed to perform specific and repetitive tasks, which limits their versatility; to make them perform different actions, they need to be reprogrammed by a person.
🤔 Considering that these #robots can cause severe harm, how should the responsibilities of #businesses and developers be distributed in ensuring #safety and control of such machines? What kinds of technologies and approaches should we develop to prevent accidents or abuses arising from their autonomy? How should we rethink the concept of safety in the #workplace?
