[SO-101] Workspace limits and self-collision checks for educators schools (intermediate)
SO-101 discussion on workspace limits, self-collision checks, soft constraints, and how educators keep repeated demos safe and predictable.
SO-101 demos in classrooms often become unpredictable when the arm is allowed to move through the full nominal workspace without enough guardrails for fixtures, table edges, or self-collision.
How are you setting workspace limits and self-collision checks on SO-101 for repeated demos and student use?
Please share how you define safe regions, what limit checks matter most, and how you validate that the arm stays teachable without becoming overly constrained.
If you reply, include one exact collision-risk symptom and one exact limit or validation step that improved safety.
The most reusable replies here explain how a classroom-safe workspace is defined in practice, not just in theory.
If you found that one soft-limit rule prevented most bad motions, share it. Searchers love those simple wins.
It also helps to explain how you balanced safety with keeping the robot useful for teaching.
