In all seriousness it is terrifying how little environmental awareness is
needed (and thus, is present) with modern robotics.

Industrial processes are terrifying. Many people die or lose limbs
every year when operating all sorts of factory-floor machinery;
everything from CNC machining centers to metal forming presses can and
does kill. I suspect we find this tragic story captivating is because
robotic arms are menacingly anthropomorphic, whereas machining centers
are not? But I bet that by fully automating production lines, they on
balance save lives.
