So if you factor the number of people playing those games and the number of polygons processed per day, it may well exceed any usage of TCAS and other avoidance systems.

RE: collision sensor
When you don't find a fast avoidance solution a monitoring strategy can help right away to protect the machine or robot from damage.
A highly sensitiv force sensor reacts in 1-2 ms to stop the robot.
There is a force sensor on the market which can measure a .001 mikron bending from the machine.
I can give you some detail information when you like.
RE: collision sensor
There are mechanical devices that comply with the crash while sending a signal back to the robot. See www.ati-ia.com for a device that our company sells for collision sensing.
We also sell a force sensor, but not for collision sensing since this an expensive solution and has no compliance. Robots cannot stop fast enough, so they can damage force sensors with no compliance.
One other note, anyone who programs robots will have a collision—it is just part of the programming process.
