Robots only do what they are told, nothing more. Running at full speed without teach pendant in hand and a clear cell is foolhardy.

Who says it was production speed? I've seen some of those cells, and the quarters are quite tight. Wouldn't need to move very quickly to pin someone against an obstruction and cause fatal injuries.

The incident I saw wasn't full speed. Just kinda knocked the guy over.
