Cooperating Robots for Flexible Manufacturing: Dynamic Safety Zones in Human Robot Collaboration [The recent automation technology advances have introduced the shared human robot (HR) workspaces concept for the future production lines. This chapter presents the design and application of safety systems that enable the dynamic monitoring of zones inside a human robot collaborative cell. The safety concepts suggested have as a main enabler a 3D safety certified camera that can detect in real time any moving human or other object in the defined area. The discussion starts from a concept of replacing physical fences with virtual safety zones while monitoring human robot distance. As a next step, a more dynamic scheme is proposed by enhancing 3D safety zones with robot side safety functions while enabling the dynamic switching of zones to minimize the allowed HR distance.

Abstract

[The recent automation technology advances have introduced the shared human robot (HR) workspaces concept for the future production lines. This chapter presents the design and application of safety systems that enable the dynamic monitoring of zones inside a human robot collaborative cell. The safety concepts suggested have as a main enabler a 3D safety certified camera that can detect in real time any moving human or other object in the defined area. The discussion starts from a concept of replacing physical fences with virtual safety zones while monitoring human robot distance. As a next step, a more dynamic scheme is proposed by enhancing 3D safety zones with robot side safety functions while enabling the dynamic switching of zones to minimize the allowed HR distance. The control architecture design and the implementation of the systems in two industrial examples from the automotive industry are presented in this chapter.]
