Human lockpickers use feedback when picking. I'm wondering if a bot could do the same - e.g. measuring the travel distance to find a binding pin, or the resistance to moving the wire?

Or discover when locks are built really badly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeDcOhWvq7I

Possible, but to do it at the level of precision needed for lockpicking would be a very expensive piece of equipment.
