Another grisly industrial accident in China… 🫣 Why aren’t they using robots — given that they’ve been boasting they are the dominant leader in robotics with the highest number of industrial robots in operation?

They're great metal stamping machines but there's meant to be Integrated light curtains or presence sensing to prevent crush injuries like this. That was up to 200tons of stamping force turning his hand into a crushed pancake. Prob amputate poor bloke.

Because humans are cheaper...and they're practically slaves in China. In a country of 1 billion + slaves, why waste a perfectly good robot?

While he was putting the stuff under the machine, he accidentally stepped on the button that turned the machine on. Look at his right foot.

human are much more cheaper than industry robots. even the human get injury, the company can pay less money to the worker and every thing could be over.

Because people are are cheaper than a robot plus their robots are for show. Automation is coming to the world with the new wave of factories being purpose built with automation from the start.

Why robots....basic safety curtine is a solution. As an automatic and robotic guy, i can say that, in europe there is no option to make production line without it. We respect lives of our workers

No guarding, what do you expect. This is why they are cheap, they dont have to comply with the same H&S practices as the rest of us do.

it would seem they are not using robots because those are under maintenance. also pancake hand should have put the locking pin for the pedal in before going anywhere near that

Because the Chinese and Americans have two very different contrasts in how they view human life.

Apparently it's a 200 ton press. It should have guards fitted to prevent that.

Goodness gracious, I've watched it over and over and didn't see him accidentally touch any switches. Why did the machine start moving on its own?

They have an overpopulation problem. So if a p rain is injured, plenty of others to fill the spot.

On Tuesday, I testified before the House Homeland Security Committee on China's strides in robotics and AI. I warned that we lost solar, batteries, and EVs -- now we're at risk of losing robotics and AI. If that happens, it would irreversibly change the balance of power. Five points: 1️⃣ China aims to win the next industrial revolution. PRC leaders believe history is shaped by industrial revolutions. The first, steam power, made Britain dominant. The second and third, electrification and mass manufacturing, made America dominant. China is determined to win the fourth. 2️⃣ In robotics, China is already winning. In 2024, China installed 300,000 new industrial robots. America installed 30,000. China now has over 2 million robots in its factories — five times more than the US. A decade ago, it imported 75% of its robots. Today it makes 60% domestically. This year alone, China may spend $400 billion on industrial policy. The entire US CHIPS Act provided $50 billion across multiple years. If we fall behind here, U.S. reindustrialization becomes farfetched. 3️⃣ In AI, we're ahead — but selling off the advantage. China has more energy, more talent, and makes the edge devices. But America still leads because of chips, according to China's own AI companies. US chips are 4-5x better than China's today. We are debating whether to surrender that edge. 4️⃣ We are inviting risks of cyberespionage and catastrophic cyberattacks. PRC law requires its companies to cooperate with intelligence services and never disclose it. Today's robots carry LiDAR, microphones, and cameras — they are mobile surveillance platforms. But the bigger risk is cyberattack. We know China has compromised our power, gas, water, telecommunications, and transportation infrastructure in preparation for cyberattack. We cannot deploy robots in sensitive facilities from the very country targeting those facilities. 5️⃣ Here's what we must do. Extend ICTS rules to cover Chinese robots. Direct CISA to audit where they're deployed in critical infrastructure. Ban federal procurement of Chinese robotics and AI. Strengthen semiconductor export controls. Stop treating American AI companies with more regulatory scrutiny than Chinese ones. And build allied scale in robotics—a trading bloc with preferential terms for the members that can rival China's scale in in the sector. Thanks to @HomelandDemsIt and House Homeland GOP for the hearing on this topic, and grateful to join Michael Robbins and colleagues from Scale and Boston Dynamics for a great discussion.
