Which standards? Are you saying no other standards for safety could ever be possible?
- TaylorAlexander 3y agoThere are at least OSHA and ANSI standards on the subject of robotic safety and I suspect what I say would be in accordance with both of those. https://webstore.ansi.org/industry/robotics/safety https://webstore.ansi.org/industry/robotics/safety https://www.osha.gov/robotics/standards https://www.osha.gov/robotics/standards Of course the standards could be changed, or other standards could be adopted. But you really went on a pretty long rant about open mindedness in reply to a person who was making a factual and industry-standard statement about robots in factories. In the airline industry they say the safety rules are written in blood, because after someone is killed they do a detailed investigation and update safety rules accordingly. I suspect that it is similar in robotics as industrial robots kill people all the time. Safety rules could be changed, but it's a perfectly normal thing for a person to say "you are unlikely to encounter said scenario because it violates the normal rules for doing the thing". If a person said "you are unlikely to see a new passenger car sold without seatbelts" that is not cause to chastise them about open mindedness, that is a boring normal statement that is factual and makes sense.
