Well, from my experience in a partially automated factory 'wrangling the robots' I would do a little foray into 'things that can go wrong'. Our robot arms would periodically have 'robot revolt parties'. Watched a robot arm reach up and push a compressor right off a ten foot dead nest. It didn't drop it or fumble, it cleanly swept it right off. So many small things could trigger problems and sometimes the fixes were odd, like one robot refused to reset unless you opened and closed a certain one of the cage doors despite having done the proper reset process in the computer.
