Human – Robots safe cooperation in an integrated approach

Abstract

Since Dacia Renault, one of our old customer, decided to increase the number of robots in the production lines, INCDMTM was put in the situation to adapt to this situation. Possible collaboration of humans and robots in shared workplaces opens up new possibilities and concepts in industry and production. The standardisation and legal situation allows for human-robot collaboration (HRC) within defined limits. In all cases involving HRC, protection of the human must be ensured by safety measures. The technology used must meet certain safety requirements. According to the risk assessment the essential safety and health requirements are determined and corresponding measures are taken. Our engineers designed and built a system which is reproducing the working conditions for a safe interaction between robots and humans in a shared workspace.
