Saw marketing from Universal Robots saying anyone can teach it. But in real shop environment, is it actually safe?
Our team works close to presses and conveyors.

No robot is “safe out of the box.”
If your payload > 3–5kg or sharp edges, you still need guarding + safety PLC.

We use UR10 with force limit enabled. Safe, but slow. To go fast you need zones and sensors.

Main risk is not robot speed, it's the gripper design. People forget grippers can pinch/crush even if robot moves slow.
