Recently, the robot "killing" incident occurred in the Volkswagen factory in Germany, and the safe use of robots has caused industrial production concerns.

 

According to a German Volkswagen spokesperson, a male technician was hit by a robot while installing the robot, and then was crushed on the iron plate and died. The robot did not have a technical failure, and the preliminary conclusions showed that "human error is the culprit of the accident."

 

This has caused warnings about the design and operation of robot production, how to eliminate the safety concerns of artificial intelligence and robots. How to avoid such incidents in the future.

 

Zhang Xinhua, director of the 33 intelligent robot research studios of the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, told the China News Service that in addition to designing safe robots, it is also necessary to take into account regional safety and sensor monitoring of robotic work, such as installing multi-type sensors for artificial intelligence robots. With the auxiliary sensor in the effective working range of the robot, "just like someone wants to punch you, when the fist has not touched your body, the sensor perceives the preset limit safety distance, and calls the instruction to stop the punch or Issue a warning to prevent injury."

 

Some experts also pointed out that safety incidents are not unrelated to the operator's lack of safety awareness and violation of correct operations. The 2015 China International Robot Exhibition will be unveiled in Shanghai on the 8th of this month, and the 2015 World Robotics Conference will be held in Beijing in November. They call for this opportunity to jointly eliminate the safety concerns of artificial intelligence and robots.
