Robots Draw Crowds
A moving robot arm fascinates visitors, especially when it responds to them. It is also heavy machinery, and safety must come first when it shares space with the public.
Typical Public Demo Set-Ups
Choose a design that suits the audience and risk. We discuss robotic demonstrations through our engineering showcase projects.
- Guarded cells — transparent barriers around the arm
- Limited-force collaborative robots — designed to work near people
- Visitor-controlled displays — interact without touching
- Pre-programmed shows — repeatable, supervised routines
- Emergency stops — clearly visible and tested

Assess the Risk
A competent person should assess risks for the specific venue, audience and task. Follow the manufacturer's guidance and relevant standards.
Train the Staff
Operators must know how to start, stop and handle faults. This is general information, not professional safety advice. Agencies planning robotic demos can talk to us via our partnership programme.
