You would be amazed how quickly they stop if they sense an obsticle. They monitor the back-emf on the motors among other things. I sometimes demoed our robots by shoving a raw frankfurter into a pinch point when the machine was flying. It stopped without putting a dent on the weenie.

As someone whos worked with one of these things for carving designs from large foam blocks, rest assured......at no point was that thing straining itself......they are CRAZY powerful. Yes, in this setup the motions are carefully planned, programmed, and controlled, Im sure there are at least 3 people with E-stop buttons to freeze the machine in place instantly, as with any stunt show its as safe as possible even if the audience doesnt see the safety involved. That being said, our shop setup had a laser curtain if ANYTHING came into its work space the thing would stop the spindle and arrest all motion. It then had to be commanded to follow a routine that would retract to its parked position without intersecting the work piece, and be restarted from where it left off. All via manual interventions and a series of "No, seriously, this is not an intelligent device, its a dumb robot with fancy drivers, it WILL kill people if you let it. Do you want to continue?" style prompts. I freaking love these things! So cool!

[@SilentSooYun]

As someone who works in automotive manufacturing, can confirm! And our robots are even smaller than this monster. Watching nine robots change tooling all at once is just a beautiful mechanical ballet while at the same time reminding one of a crab on it's back trying to turn itself over

[@Sombre____]

No need E-stop, the robot is doing what it is program for.

[@TankR]

@Sombre____ there is always an E-stop. They're built into the robots control system (the big grey prefabulated amulite cabinet that houses the brains just off stage). However, if there is no equivalent of a stunt coordinator acting as an equivalent of a safety technician during the show ready to halt the animations on the unlikely event something goes wrong......then that is the dumbest fucking thing I have heard this year, and Im American...so, yeah, pretty dumb. All it takes is one slipped grip, a mistimed step, and we get to see how efficiently that arm can smear dude across the stage. Yeah, I get it, I was young and cool once too, thinking I was invincible. But seriously I've grown up since, experienced the world, ruminated on the whys of the hows, and either 1) there are e-stops, or 2) this man is a fucking idiot. Those are literally the only two options.

I used to work for a major cell phone manufacturer. We got one of these 6-axis robot arms for loading phones into test assemblies. When the Siemens engineers were done calibrating it they turned it over to the factory techops guys for programming it to load phones and left. The first thing we did was to take all the safety shields off of it's cage and then have it throw phones across the factory (probably a good 150ft) to another engineer holding a trash bin. It was glorious and terrifying at the same time because the thing could rotate at 35mph and kill you in the blink of an eye. It was probably 1/4 the size of the one he's using here.

What's amazing is that the time at 1:05 where he doesn't leave the chair vs the time at 0:39 where he does get 'thrown', the robot is doing the exact same movement at the exact same speed. It's amazing how much acting is being combined into this to make it look more dangerous than it actually is. IT's very much up to the performer to choose whether he looks like he's being thrown or holding on. It's also not really doing any super fast movements. They're all very determined, but exaggerated. E.g. at 2:30 where he's spinning around loads.... but the robot is stopped and he's only a foot off the ground, or at 0:33 where he's very much exaggerating how much the robot is 'throwing' him forward. I'm more amazed that they managed to bolt this thing down to the stage though. Usually you'd want some big concrete slab to have this anchored into! Usually stages are suspended over some form of sub-stage area (Where you'd drop a trapdoor into).

To put the OSHA Comments into perspective; this did start a bit of a controversy because it was a grey area of which ruleset to follow. The theatre classed it as stage machinery and followed said safety ruleset. The governing agency judged that the robot should fall under the same safety routines as if it was used in industry, making physical interaction with it impossible and thus putting an stop to the act. This was appealed in court, which judged the theatres safety procedures to be adequate and thus overruled the "OSHA" ruling.

I took manual control to pull the head out and take it back to maintenance position, fortunately we had some spare parts as it had completely torn off one side of the gripper head, and those were not weak parts, they were German made heavy duty industrial parts I worked there for several years, the robot must have completed at least a million cycles during my time running the production line, and this happened only once on one robot... I was running two robots, two clay mixers, an extruder, a pneumatic cutter, a rotating hydraulic press, a storage gripper, a stacking gripper, a hydraulic loading car, a dryer, an engobe effect waterfall coating station, a carousel, about 15 different transfer belts and a kiln... all by myself for the most part... I was 1 of 1 people in that factory that could run that production line as it was supposed to be run (and very underpaid now that I look back) anyway my point is, out of all that equipment, the robots were actually incredibly reliable... it was a one in several million chance that they would go wrong... but with their speed, manoeuvrability, strength and reach... I definitely wouldn't like to be near one when they do! they are also capable of throwing things outside of safety zones which is much more likely, incorrectly aligned products would sometimes be pelted at the safety fence and large pieces of dry clay would often make it over the fence

Someone who works at NASA's mom: "this darn thing doesn't recline anymore, would you take a look at it for me, dear?" Them: "Say no more."

I havent seen commitment and originality like this since the 90s. F'n GREAT JOB!😆👍

[@lucaswolgast1520]

Oh after 8 month's here we go again youtube

[@fredquevillon3727]

I’ve repaired and programmed this kind of robot to spray paint Windows in a factory. Same noise. That was really funny!

[@diversify210]

Some people have an amazing ability to come up with these ideas and concepts. I personally was only blessed with the ability to build what others imagine. I am not a creative person at all, which is an attribute that would come in handy seeing as I can build just about anything. So my creations are usually a product of an idea that someone else had. It sucks in a way. Having the skill to build what you want or need is no small thing, but how great would it be if I also had the creative spirit to envision that which I am building. I guess no one gets it all.

You can certainly appreciate the power and precision of this machine

I'm more impressed by the durability of the chair.

[@swebounce]

It is a very good chair.

[@pigeondriver8992]

The man piloting the arm had a lot of fun

[@Engineer9736]

It's all preprogrammed before the show.. I think there is just someone sitting in the back with a "start sequence" button that he hits when the comedian is ready for the next bit

[@IIIRorschachIII]

Well the recommended tab came in clutch with this one. That's a badass act! Acrobatics with Comedy. Genius!

[@nukeshine]

i was kind terrified the entire video seeing how he could have easily hurt himself or even break his neck but thankfully he is okay at the end

[@E1ectr0]

This video is just legendary, The acting is supreme.

[@crudboy12]

if they programmed that thing wrong, it could kill him in half a second lol. That probably took some balls to do.

[@ryanthoms]

This is a genius act I’m so glad I clicked

[@thegarbanzo]

Its scary how unbelievably strong and precise these machines are. But its also incredible.

[@SithisXVII]

Expensive comedy routine.

[@1234567895182]

Awesome performance! I would be too scared to be next to that giant arm. Props to you and your grip strength!
