    Yeah, it looks like it’s programmed in a 2 stage push, but I’m wondering about safety mechanisms, and how you’d present programming to a user for something like this. I work in robotics, so I might actually have the stuff for this laying around the shop.

      I’m about as jealous as can be. I haven’t gotten to play around with robotic stuff since I was in one of those ‘learning modules’ in school, programming an arm to move a ball around. If I was to try something like this, it would be with model train parts, scrap wood, and pvc pipe.

      Common units have length adjusted by the user prior to use and only speed is controlled. This unit has two knobs on the controller so it might be a high-end unit with depth and speed control. Typical the mechanism for that is advertised as a linear actuator, although I don’t know if that’s specific enough for you.

      A common safety measure is to have the toy set to max depth at the start of that the toy doesn’t go deeper than the user expects/is capable of handling (many people will overestimate their capabilities when horny). I don’t believe there’s a torque limit to these typically beyond what the machine is capable of. Most are advertised as being able to push through clenching (for some this involuntary as the approach/have an orgasm).
