When the operator was demonstrating "perturbations", they were reaching into the scene while the robot was very close to grabbing objects they had their fingers near - isn't this dangerous? What if the robot clamped down on their fingers?

This looks like a cobot (Collaborative robot). They are meant to work alongside humans - chance of injury is low because their speed/maximum force exerted is limited.

Sometimes risk needs to be taken.

It’s easy to use tongs or other manipulators to interact with scene objects from a safe distance.

This isn’t demonstrating good robot safety, someone will get hurt, and likely already has been, at least to minor degrees.
