Mounting a 10W 445 laser on an 'intelligent' robot arm

Hey everyone,

Haven't been here for a while.

I am currently working for an engineering company and apart of a project that uses a 10W 445nm laser mounted on an 'intelligent robot' arm. This arm is attached on a mobile tank tread base that patrols farms and kills weeds and pests with the laser. This robot also uses machine vision to detect weed and pest species automatically without a human driver.

The laser module will be similar to this: 450nm 445nm 10W 10000mW High-power blue laser diode module engraving wood metal


What are some of the safety issues/features that should be considered during prototype lab testing, and on-field testing?

Also, what safety glasses is recommended?
I saw these glasses being tested in InfinitusEquitas' thread with a 2.5W 450nm: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...1_details?th=1. However, im not sure how $15 glasses will hold up against a 10W..


This is just the beginning stages of the project and any advise or suggestions will be received with an open mind


Thanks in advance!

EDIT:
just realized the laser i linked cannot be focusable to be parallel beams. Any easy fix? the max seems to be capped at 5.5W for focusable 445s?
