Robots are already working alongside humans. They have safety features to protect human workers. Disney’s soft robotic hand and arm system is also interesting. It is a 6 DOF arm with two air-filled force sensing modules that absorb impact passively. The arm has an inflated outer cover that encloses its mechanism.
Must see robots & drones:
