>>Most robots require kill buttons or estops on them so that a human can shut them down. If a customer ever feels the need to hit that button, then the people who have built and sold the robot have failed. They have not made it operate well enough that the robot never gets into a state where things are going that wrong.
A corollary of this is the robot that gets it's kill switch activated should also notify it's designers of the failure and details (upon rebooting, not first waiting to shut down), or provide a report that the customer can send. These should be top priority repair/upgrade tickets to improve it's function in the real world.
