    The thing should be turned off whenever a flesh body is within reach. No software solution is going to be truly safe.

      Best practices is having robotic arms inside cages to prevent people from physically being able to access a machine's circle of blood. Auto turnoff systems are still fundamentally software and aren't as reliable as physical lockout

        They use lasers attached to a kill relay to create a virtual cage. You can do it only with electronics, no software
