dead man's switch
|
|
|
|
Gender biased term of a type of failsafe system used when debugging large
|
|
or potentially dangerous robotics systems. The dead man's switch is a
|
|
physical contact held closed in the hand. If the robot does something
|
|
unexpected due to a bug then the hacker can simply release/drop the
|
|
switch and the robot will come to a controlled stop and then power off. |
