The point about humans remaining essential deserves a closer look at exception handling. A robot can reduce routine exposure while still needing a person to recover it after a fault, so the frequency and conditions of those interventions matter alongside hours of autonomous operation. Reporting human entries into the hazardous area before and after deployment would be a useful way to assess the practical benefit. I work on Alpha-Bionic.info, and this distinction between automating a task and removing the associated exposure is relevant to our robotics coverage.
