First Factory Robot Pushes New Safety Standards
The first humanoid robot called Digit joins factory workers, pushing companies to create new safety rules.
The robot uses sensors and AI to work safely around people while moving materials and handling logistics.
Special safety systems let Digit spot humans and predict their movements in the factory.
The robot adjusts its actions in real-time when workers come near.
Companies develop fail-safe features that stop robots instantly if something goes wrong.
Robot makers work with safety experts to create industry-wide rules for human-robot teams.
New monitoring systems track how robots and humans interact on factory floors.
The machines learn from experience to improve how they work with people.
Digit's success shows how robots might work alongside humans in more factories.
The project marks a shift toward factories where humans and robots share workspace safely.
Engineers focus on making workers feel comfortable working near the machines.
