"Our robot arm ride simulator is so realistic, it can not only simulate a roller coaster but it can even simulate a roller coaster breaking down at the top of a loop!"
Please keep in mind that those kind of systems are designed for safety and not for availability. So if something goes wrong (could be just a little thing like a broken sensor sending non-sense), the system will enter a state where nobody will get hurt (in this case just stop).
RU-vid keeps showing me random videos of robots failing these past few days. Anyone else? Is Google trying to give me a message not to trust them or something? 😂😂😂
@@logcom482 I have been for many years - 90% of my subscribes are STEM, but i've haven't been given mulitple videos on consecutive days of robots failing before. So far, not a single video was uploaded within the last 12 months.
This recovery is well practiced by the operators. The design of the KUKA Robocoaster/KUKA Coaster cannot allow the occupants to come into contact with anything in case of a software/harware fault. The axes are all limited with special hard stops. The Robot can never touch the floor or itself. That is the reason the platform retracts, moves the occupants out of range of contact. The castings of the special 'KR500TüV' are all inspected by Xray. The whole system is TüV approved and has rides that have been approved and tested not to cause injury to the Riders. There is a recovery procedure which consists of Brake lifting and driving the motors manually with a battery drill.
Just like an autonomous drone, an emergency (auto) recovery back to home position should be one of (low level) operational modes, not an exception requiring arduous manual intervention. Especially any vehicles involving human occupants, safety should be at the very TOP of design requirement.
@@grasuh Broo i own a Kuka... when they have power outage or SOMTHING else that trips the brakes it will do an Emergancy Brake! And after that happned the brakes are hot (yes hot like a carbrake) and will not release unless they cooldown about 30-60mins. Ther is no just Driving back. That thing will do NOTHING for some time, even if it culd. This Robots are desined to be save in first place and function is second, thats why they are good. And that what they have in the video that just happens, its every day life for ppl who work whit robots.
@@ArunUdai Agree. We'll just have to wait and see when someone passes out. Some cannot remain upside down for long and having high blood pressure does not help.
@@Doggeslife No, at the slightest possibility of error it's designed to stop, after all it could damage something really important, like a car body die 😈
These arms are specially cast with hard stops so they physically cannot hit the ground or other parts of itself. This specific instance was a power failure and the robot engaged safety brakes
How embarrassing for Kuka....! I mean, these things happen, but you'd have hoped whatever failsafe failed they'd have alternative after alternative to make sure it would be a *much* easier recovery than this.....!
I think that recovery was if fact very easy and safe. Just unbolt the shaft covers on the motors, use a wrench or a powered drill to move it. And as you can see, they were indeed prepared for this, as they had the tools required. At around 3 minutes you see a special tool to work the motor with the powered drill.
And those men have no kind of head protection on? No cages to safely be in in case that arm tragically goofs and smashes and scrapes their heads across ground from it "hotdogging" too close to floor level, with the passengers upside down, from operational malfunction? That's crazy!!!
The robot axis are mechanically limited and this robot is powered off so it's totally safe to do what they are doing. Working with robots is very safe so long as the robots are not in automatic mode.
zadna zaloha, i ta mechanicka nebyla moc profesionalni, proste zbabrano na co sahli, posledna 1 minuta se odehravala tak, ze to vypadalo, ze uz to nekdy delali, ale jinak amaterina, na to, kolik stoji takovy robot...
Echt schlecht ... wenn man Pech gehabt hätte, und es eine Fehlfunktion in der Ansteuerung gegeben hätte, dann wären die zwei Herren jetzt schwer verletzt und im schlimmsten Fall tot. Denke die Robotik-Industrie hat aus diesem Fail gelernt. Seit dem habe ich nirgens in Europa zumindest wieder so eine Art "Attraktion" gesehen.
Nein. Dies ist ein speziell konstruiertes Fahrgeschäft und auch als solches zugelassen. Die Arme sind konstruktionsbedingt nicht in der Lage z.B den Boden, oder andere Maschinenteile zu berühren. Soll aussehen, wie ein sich in alle Richtungen frei bewegender Industrieroboter, ist es aber nicht. Das schlimmste, was dir als Passagier passieren kann, ist das dir ziemlich schlecht wird... :-)
