Imagine arriving at the hospital with your neck practically separated from your body after being hit by an industrial robotic arm, that's what happened in China.

The impact broke cervical vertebrae and damaged the vertebral arteries, leaving the head united only by soft tissues. For obvious reasons, I cannot show the images, but the source of the note is always here.

There was a risk of brain infection, the patient was so unstable that standard imaging tests became a luxury, any movement that was not calculated could end badly, the outcome for now is the best possible, after surgery, the patient woke up, his vital signs stabilized, he now sits up with help and moves his arms and shoulders.

When something goes wrong, whether due to human failure, programming error or inefficient sensor, the result can be catastrophic, this happened with a fixed robot, now let's take that scenario to humanoid robots, despite all the excitement of having these machines in our homes, it is worth discussing the safety regulations and everything that is involved.

To what extent can we allow machines to operate around us with such strength and autonomy, without demanding the same sensitivity from them that we ask of a trained human being, because if they have the power to harm us in a second, then they also need to have enough intelligence not to do it by accident. And what do you think of all this?
