Cooperation of human operator and small industrial robot
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cooperation between a small industrial robot and human operator is studied in this paper. To ensure safe human-robot interaction several safety features should be introduced into the industrial cell. Despite all the precautions undertaken the collision between robot and man can occur. In present study impact assessments of point robot end-effector with passive mechanical arm were carried out. The impact energy density was calculated and used to evaluate possible injury levels caused by collisions and to determine a safe range of future investigations with human volunteers.

Workspace Boundary Avoidance in Robot Teaching by Demonstration Using Fuzzy Impedance Control
The present paper investigates an intuitive way of robot path planning, called robot teaching by demonstration. In this method, an operator holds the robot end-effector and moves it through a number of positions and orientations in order to teach it a desired task. The presented control architecture applies impedance control in such a way that the end-effector follows the operator’s hand with d...
متن کاملNavigation of a Mobile Robot Using Virtual Potential Field and Artificial Neural Network
Mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. The proposed approach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the track using a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. For training, a human operator navigates the mobile robot in ...
متن کاملSensorbasierte, echtzeitfähige Online-Bahnplanung für die Mensch-Roboter-Koexistenz
Human-robot cooperation is a very active field of research, aiming to combine the specific capabilities of robots and humans to enable new forms of labor. One requirement for successful cooperation or coexistence is the safety of the human operator in the presence of heavy-weight and dangerous robot arms. As a second goal, high availability of the robot system is important to facilitate its ado...
متن کاملA New Solution for the Cyclic Multiple-Part Type Three-Machine Robotic Cell Problem based on the Particle Swarm Meta-heuristic
In this paper, we develop a new mathematical model for a cyclic multiple-part type threemachine robotic cell problem. In this robotic cell a robot is used for material handling. The objective is finding a part sequence to minimize the cycle time (i.e.; maximize the throughput) with assumption of known robot movement. The developed model is based on Petri nets and provides a new method to calcul...
متن کاملCognitive Robotics in Industrial Environments
Industrial robotics is a challenging domain for cognitive systems, especially, when human intelligence meets solid machinery with many degrees of freedom like most of today’s industrial robots. Hence, for guaranteeing safety for human workers, safety fences are installed to separate humans and robots. As consequence no time and space sharing interaction or cooperation can be found in industrial...
