Industrial robots are designed for long unbroken work. But sometimes something is going wrong. Like on the showcase in Brno in 2014.
Check the best Industrial robots book
“Everything you need to know about Robotics from beginner to expert!”
“Terms like Kinematics and Forward/Inverse kinematics sound complicated while in this book they are describe in such a way that a child can understand it.”
“Highly recommended.”
We can learn a lot of interesting things from this failure. The first thing to pay attention to is the type of robot. KUKAKUKA is a manufacturer of industrial robots and solutions for factory automation. The KUKA Robotics Corporation has 25 subsidiaries worldwide, mostly sales and service subsidiaries, including in the United States,… More has a special line of equipment that provides safe entertainment for the carried people. It is called KR700 R2510 passenger (with KR C4 passenger controller).
Transportation of persons with robot
Normally in each industrial robot instruction, you will see a remark like this:
Any use or application deviating from the intended use is deemed to be imper-missible misuse. This includes e.g.:
Transportation of persons and animals
Use as a climbing aid
Operation outside the permissible operating parameters
Use in potentially explosive environments
Use in underground mining
KUKA KR Quantec specification
This “passenger” KUKA robot has additional certificates confirming that the transport of passengers will be carried out in compliance with appropriate safety standards.
No spare parts?
Another interesting fact is that a robot with a load capacity of 500 kg can be moved in case of emergency using a standard drill. People can be released quickly without losing time for searching and replacing spare parts.
Are you surprised that so little power is needed to set the robot in motion? Many people think that an industrial robot is an energy-intensive device, but that’s not true. It needs the same amount of energy as…. an electric kettle.

Robocoaster outside amusement parks
Do you want to try a ride on the robot by yourself? If you are living in Australia then look for “robot ride” – a mobile solution with a robot.
