Abstract
Transferable robotic systems offer new possibilities to
minimise investment risks and find new types of solutions
for the changing production environment. Safety issues
pose a significant challenge when developing transferable
robotic solutions. Traditional safety solutions do not
satisfactorily fulfil the needs of this kind of system.
Recently, new types of safety solutions have been
launched that open new possibilities to build safety
solutions into transferable systems. These include new
safety sensors, machine vision based safety systems, and
safety controllers for robots that enable flexible
fenceless safety systems and dynamic safety regions
alongside a host of other attractive features. The new
possibilities themselves create new and fairly complex
challenges in safety design. This paper presents the
safety challenges encountered when designing a
transferable robotic system. It also studies various
solutions and technologies proposed for meeting these
challenges, and presents some examples and methods used
to find a satisfactory solution.
