Yes, robots are generally safe to use. However, it depends on the type and purpose of the robot. Safety measures and standards are typically incorporated into the design and programming of robots to ensure their safe operation. In industrial settings, robots are often used for tasks that are dangerous or repetitive for humans to perform. They are designed to follow strict safety protocols, including sensors for detecting obstacles or human presence, emergency stop buttons, and compliance with safety regulations. Additionally, collaborative robots (cobots) are specifically developed to work alongside humans with additional safety features and systems in place, like power and force limiting to prevent injury. However, it is crucial to use robots responsibly and in accordance with proper guidelines to maintain safety.
