Looks like a deadman switch would’ve fixed it - place both hands on two buttons below the table; release either/both buttons and robot automatically halts wherever it is.
Who could have seen that coming? /s
An industrial grade robot is no joke. I hope whoever set up that robot got sued.
You either need a weak enough robot that it can't really harm you, or you need several measures to prevent exactly this from happening. Either make all the joints compliant or set up PSD's/invisible fences to prevent the robot from operating when hands are near the boards.
