From reading the actual article, I'm guessing these guidelines are a lot more practical than the article here makes them out to be. Tracking robot-related injuries to see if it starts being a problem is a sensible idea, for instance.

Japan already has rules for operating industrial robots, things like "put a cage around it so people won't walk into a moving steel arm."
