Abstract
In recent years, human-robot co-operation has been of
increasing interest in research, and new types of modern
safety technology have emerged on the market. These
include safety sensors, machine vision based safety
systems, laser sensors and safety controllers for robots.
The new technology enables flexible fenceless safety
systems and dynamic safety regions alongside a host of
other attractive features for human-robot co-operation.
The safety systems can also be integrated into a
transferable robotic platform. While this modern
technology opens up wholly new possibilities, it also
creates new and fairly complex challenges in safety
design. This paper introduces some case examples of
handling these challenges.
