The visual “kill switch” is just such an inspired idea - this could be built into pretty much any power tool or machinery in almost any application!

Thank you so much spanner, hopefully it does. I’ve worked with technicians with way too many stories about accidents that involve a machine accidentally turning on while someone’s  hand is close .Hopefully this could be applied and potentially save lives in the future.

I think it could, because as much as the AI system is inherently complex, once in place it’s operation is actually significantly simpler than more mechanical methods such as holding down kill switches, closing a cover, or some other manual method of ensuring hands are away from tools! It sees a hand, and deactivates the machinery - no other intervention needed!
